AOIS= parameter for procedures

Use the AOIS= parameter in procedures to specify whether RACF®, the Command Authorization exit routine (DFSCCMD0), or both are used to secure the DL/I ICMD call in AO applications. Valid values are A, C, N, R, and S. N is the default.

Because AOIS is not included in the checkpoint record, you can change the AOIS value each time IMS is initialized.

The possible values are:
A
Includes options C and R. RACF is called first. Then, the security authorization facility (SAF) return code, RACF return code, and RACF reason code are passed to DFSCCMD0. These return codes are decoded into a security code, which is also passed to DFSCCMD0 for processing.
C
Specifies that DFSCCMD0 is to be called for command authorization.
N
Specifies that the DL/I call ICMD cannot be issued by an application program. N is the default.
R
Specifies that RACF is to be called for command authorization.
S
Specifies that no authorization checking is to be done.
