  eliminate some of this setup.
  

Problem conclusion

•  AIDS: RIDS/UTIL RIDS/DBS DBS/UTIL
    DEP: NONE
    GEN:
  
  *** END IMS KEYWORDS ***
  DRF is changed to capture the authorized userid attributes in
  which the DRF Master Address Space is running under.  This
  information is propogated down to the individual started tasks
  in order to inherit the same RACF attributes as the Master
  Address Space.
  
  FRXVSTA0 is changed to save the authorized userid and groupid in
  which the DRF job is running under.
  
  FRXSASP and FRXLBLD0 are changed to save the userid and groupid
  in the ASCRE parameter list for transfer to the individual
  started tasks.
  
  FRXSDR00 is changed to extract the userid and groupid from the
  ASCRE parameter list in the started tasks.
  
  FRXICTL0 is changed to invoke RACROUTE to create a new Acessor
  Environment Element block (ACEE) with the userid and groupid
  from the DRF Master Address Space.  Once created, it is used to
  substitute the ACEE in either the Task Control Block (TCB) or
  the Address Space Extension Block (ASXB).  This will cause the
  started task to inherit the same authorization as the Master
  Address Space.
  
  FRXMTRM1 is change to replace return to the original ACEE values
  of the started task prior to termination.
