It will not. You should have AC=1 only for a module that is the target of something akin to EXEC PGM= (i.e., the jobstep program). It's easier to obey this rule than to ensure that unnecessarily-marked AC=1 modules properly protect system security/integrity. The module would need to be in an APF-authorized library/concatenation. <snip> TSO does SVC screening to protect itself from SUP and non-KEY8 security exposures. </snip> That seems quite unlikely to me. But you could be right.
