General resource profile administration

For all of the resource-related function codes (ADMN_ADD_GENRES, ADMN_ALT_GENRES, ADMN_DEL_GENRES, ADMN_LST_GENRES, ADMN_ADD_DS, ADMN_ALT_DS, ADMN_DEL_DS, ADMN_LST_DS, and ADMN_PERMIT), the mapping associated with the function-specific parameter list is mapped as follows:

Offset	Length	Description
0	1	Length of the class name
1	8	Uppercase RACF® class name
9	1	Reserved
10	2	Output offset to the segment or field entry in error in relation to the start of the Parm_list. Only applies to add, alter, and list requests when an "Invalid Request" error is returned to the caller.
12	2	Number of RACF profile segments
14	*	Start of the first segment entry

Note:

The class name is not required for the data set functions.
The request header identifies the class name, but not the resource name itself. You should set up a field entry for the PROFILE field in the BASE segment in order to specify the resource name to R_admin.

The BASE segment is used to specify field information for ADMN_PERMIT. You should also use the BASE segment to specify certain keywords for the delete and list functions. For example, you may need to specify the GENERIC keyword when deleting a data set. Also, for example, when using a list function, you can specify the NORACF field if you do not want the BASE segment listed.

See Segment and field entry mappings for segment and field entry information.

The output from these functions is either command output or error messages. See Command output message block mapping for the output format.

The general resource, data set, and permit functions each utilize a separate set of field definitions. Table 1 shows where to find the field definitions for the resource related function codes.

Table 1. Resource related field definitions
For Field Definitions	See
ADMN_ADD_GESRES ADMN_ALT_GENRES ADMN_LST_GENRES	General resource administration
ADMN_ADD_DS, ADMN_ALT_DS, ADMN_LST_DS, ADMN_DEL_DS	Data set administration
ADMN_PERMIT	Access list administration

Note: For ADMN_DEL_GENRES, specify only the PROFILE field in the BASE segment.
