Peter, Thank you for the explanation. However I think the same "problem" exists with ID(*) and LNKLST. Regarding undefined users - BATCHALLRACF should be enough. And AFAIR NODES class could be set up to reject such jobs. However it is still minor issue, IMHO - the job would use some resources,

Mike, I have normally been on the RACF-L list, however, since changing jobs last year, I've had some problems with the e-mails from the list getting through to my new e-mail address. I, personally, have not seen work running without a valid RACF userid associated with it, though I have been in

Hi Peter, Radoslaw and I probably spend more time over on the RACF_L list than here on IBM-MAIN, but I still like to keep an eye open here. The use of ID(*) ACCESS(READ) is well known among the RACF community as the 'preferred' option to UACC nowadays, and the reason you cite is indeed mention

R.S. One of the reasons to use ACCESS(READ) ID(*) and not UACC(READ) would be that the first forces the user accessing the programs to actually be a racf userid. I believe, that if you have a job, come across via NJE, it is possible that the submitting system did not provide a userid, and woul

This is the way (one of few) to do this. In other words HOW to do this. However it doesn't answer WHY to do this. I still don't know any *reasonable* justification for UACC(NONE) for linklisted libraries. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 23.06.2024 o 18:27, Mike Schwab pisze: We did
