Using RACFVARS with mixed-case classes z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide SA23-2289-00 |

Using RACF® variables in mixed-case profile names has limited use. A mixed-case profile is a profile in a class defined in the class descriptor table (CDT) with the CASE=ASIS option, and might, therefore, have a name that contains lowercase characters. The RACFVARS class itself is not defined with this option, so its profiles and member values will be treated as upper case. Therefore, when you define a mixed-case profile using a RACF variable, you must enter the variable name in upper case. In the following example, $MYCLASS is a mixed-case
class. Notice that the profile called My.Pet.&VAR contains
mixed-case characters but the variable name (&VAR)
is in upper case. This allows the variable name match the RACFVARS
profile name, which must be in upper case.
Because the &VAR profile can contain only members with uppercase names (CAT, DOG, and FISH), a resource named My.Pet.FISH is covered by these profiles, but My.Pet.Fish is not. Note: Do not enter profile name My.Pet.&var because,
although RACF will accept the
name, the character string &var will not match
the RACFVARS profile name &VAR and will not be
recognized as a RACF variable.
