No, but that's a common misconception (or, perhaps, a common mis-statement). The correct statement is: anything in LPA is considered to reside in an authorized library. What that means is: 1. It can be loaded by something that is running either unauthorized or authorized (APF, system key, or supervisor state). When loaded, the state of the running program's authorization is not changed. (I will ignore the further complications that can be imposed by RACF Program Control, as those are not really related to authorized vs unauthorized.) 2. If it is loaded by the Initiator as a jobstep program, and it is linked AC(1), it will run APF-authorized. (I will ignore possible JOBLIB/STEPLIB effects.) 3. If it is run under TSO and is in the appropriate IKJTSOxx list (AUTHPGM, AUTHCMD, AUTHTSF) for the way it was run, it will run APF-authorized. (Again, ignoring possible JOBLIB/STEPLIB effects.) But it is only truly "authorized" if it is loaded by an already-authorized program in case 1, or when cases 2 or 3 apply. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
