Hi Ron, This could be a case of EGN (enhanced generic naming). If EGN is off, MAC.* covers MAC.** If EGN is on, MAC.* covers only MAC.* (1 following qualifier).
Believe a SETR LIST will show whether EGN is on or off. - Vignesh Mainframe Infrastructure -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of McCabe, Ron Sent: Thursday 15-Mar-2018 05:03 To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] Problem with dataset authorization Hello List, I'm having a problem where one of my developers is getting "INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY" on a dataset that I have defined in RACF and the issue is that it is reporting on the generic definition. I have defined in RACF a generic dataset definition of MAC.* (this definition has a UACC of READ and only a couple of groups have update access), I also have defined a complete dataset name of MAC.JSF40.TEMP.JOBHIST (this definition has a UACC of READ and allows update access for my developers). When my developers run a job that wants to update the MAC.JSF40.TEMP.JOBHIST dataset they get the "INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY" FROM MAC.* (G). Why isn't the system checking for the complete dataset which is the way I thought RACF was supposed to work?
