Error description

• Rational Developer for System z users get unexpected ICH408I
  INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY FROM SYS1.*.** (G) for
  SYS1.PROCLIB
  
  The reason is that the LPEX editor searches for // INCLUDE
  members in SYS1.PROCLIB (hardcoded) when a member is not found
  the libraries declared in the properties for JCL members.
  
  This happens in an environment where the RDz users have been
  denied access to SYS1.PROCLIB.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:     Rational Developer for System z version 9.x
  users attempting to resolve JCL include members, or open JCL
  procedures from the JCL Editor or System z LPEX editor.
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:  The search order allowing the editors to
  resolve JCL include members or open JCL procedures was as
  follows:
  1) the data sets specified in the JCLLIB statement
  2) the data sets specified in the Include and procedure search
  libraries field on the JCL tab of the resource's Property Group
  3) SYS1.PROCLIB - the system default procedure library
  
  Errors are encountered in an environment where users have been
  denied access to SYS1.PROCLIB when the editor attempts to search
  for JCL include members, or JCL procedures to open.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• While the use of SYS1.PROCLIB as the system default procedure
  library is very common, it is not mandatory. Therefore the
  search order used by the editors should not include SYS1.PROCLIB
  by default.
  
  The search order allowing the editors to resolve JCL include
  members or open JCL procedures will be changed to be as follows:
  1) the data sets specified in the JCLLIB statement
  2) the data sets specified in the Include and procedure search
  libraries field on the JCL tab of the resource's Property Group
  
  If a user would like to add SYS1.PROCLIB to the Include and
  procedure search libraries field on the JCL tab of the
  resource's Property Group, then the previous behavior can be
  re-created.
