IRRXUTIL: REXX interface to R_admin extract

IRRXUTIL is a program that creates a set of REXX stem variables for several categories of RACF® information.

1. The contents of RACF profiles. The stem variables are designed to reference profile information in one of the following ways:
   • Directly by field name, in the case where the field name is known by the caller.
   • The set of segment and field names are returned so that a caller can see which fields exist without any previous knowledge of the RACF schema.
2. System-wide settings (SETROPTS values).
3. RACF remote sharing facility (RRSF) information.
4. Class Descriptor Table (CDT) entries.

Except for the CDT function, IRRXUTIL calls the R-admin callable service (IRRSEQ00) to extract RACF information that is converted into a set of REXX stem variables. Users of IRRXUTIL should have some familiarity with R_admin extract functions. However, you need not understand the input and output parameters of the R_admin extract functions before coding to the IRRXUTIL interface.

IRRXUTIL is invoked by REXX in problem state.

Some aspects of the interface that are determined by R_admin are not documented in this topic. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
