IRRXUTIL: REXX interface to R

IRRXUTIL is a program that converts the output of an R_admin callable service (IRRSEQ00) extract request to a set of REXX stem variables. 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.

IRRXUTIL is designed to be invoked by REXX in problem state.

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.

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:

Authorization requirements
Segment and field names
Full behavior of the generic indicator

For more information about authorization requirements, see z/OS Security Server RACF Callable Services and the 'Authorization required' section for the relevant RACF command, in z/OS Security Server RACF Command Language Reference.
