Suppose you want to protect several tape volumes called TAP111, A22222, and B33OLD, and give ALTER access to them only to a group called PAYGRP. There is no resource grouping class for the TAPEVOL class and the names of the tape volumes are unlike, so you choose the RACFVARS method to protect the tape volumes. To do this, enter:

RDEFINE  RACFVARS &PAYTAPE UACC(NONE) ADDMEM(TAP111 A22222 B33OLD)
RDEFINE  TAPEVOL  &PAYTAPE UACC(NONE)
PERMIT   &PAYTAPE CLASS(TAPEVOL) ID(PAYGRP) ACCESS(ALTER)
SETROPTS CLASSACT(TAPEVOL RACFVARS) RACLIST(RACFVARS)

If you later need to add a tape volume called C44TAP to the list of protected tape volumes, enter:

RALTER   RACFVARS &PAYTAPE ADDMEM(C44TAP)
SETROPTS RACLIST(RACFVARS) REFRESH
