(o) Even if the above is true, your STC will process the CIB as expected.
For giggles, you can try this on a test system and see how many IEE342I

epsie tool "MFM". We sit on the CSVFETCH and
CSVLLIX1 dynamic exits to capture both program fetch and VLF fetch events (no

The next step is to examine the RACF RC associated with the SAF RC=4 as that

The specified resource is not protected by RACF.
If PROTECTALL is active, no profile is found, and the user ID whose authority
was checked does
not have the SPECIAL attribute
