But let me try again. IEBCOPY has been demoted from "APF Authorized" to "Module residing in an authorized library, marked AC(0), so not designed to be invoked authorized." This somewhat shifts the burden of parameter validation from IEBCOPY itself to any authorized caller. Charles could save himself some doubt by marking one program he mentioned AC(0) (for z/OS 1.13 and higher). -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
