You are correct - you need to define a group (or userid) for every HLQ that you will use in dataset profiles. That is how RACF works.
The owner of the group can be another group. For instance group SYS1 can be owner of group ISP, then dataset profiles for ISP.** can be created. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
