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.

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?

Thanks,
Ron McCabe
