Providing Program Access to Data Sets (PADS)

Edit online

If your system has z/OS UNIX System Services or if you use PADS functionality in your security system, include all data sets in the IBM® Connect:Direct® JCL STEPLIB DD concatenation in your Program Control List (PCL). If any data set in the STEPLIB concatenation is not in the PADS list, the “dirty bit” will be turned on, and IBM Connect:Direct initialization will fail and display message SITA997I. Use the following procedure:

Procedure

  1. Type the following command to display the data sets (libraries) in the PCL. 
    rlist program *

    The access-controlled data sets are displayed.

USER01.HOST4100.LOADLIB                   NO
  2. Define the IBM Connect:Direct libraries to IBM RACF PADS. The following screen is an example of a definition. 
    RDEFINE PROGRAM ** UACC(READ) ADDMEM +
                   ('$CD.LOADLIB'//NOPADCHK)
SETROPTS WHEN(PROGRAM) REFRESH
