AUTHPGMLIST

AUTHPGMLIST specifies the path name of a z/OS UNIX file that contains the lists of APF-authorized path names and program names.Those lists are called sanction lists. For more information about setting up and activating sanction lists, see Using sanction lists. For example:

AUTHPGMLIST('/etc/authfile')

To dynamically change the value of AUTHPGMLIST, you can use the SETOMVS or SET OMVS =(xx) operator command, where xx specifies which BPXPRMxx file is to be used to reset the various z/OS® UNIX parameters.

If the AUTHGPGMLIST statement contains a nonexistent value, you will not get an error message.

Tip: Using the AUTHPGMLIST statement degrades performance slightly. The more path names or program names that you specify, the greater the performance degradation. However, the tradeoff is increased security.
