Authorized Program Facility (APF)
An address space that calls IDCAMS to issue any of these commands
must be APF authorized, or the command will terminate:
- ALLOCATE command to allocate a data set.
- DCOLLECT command.
- DEFINE command, when the RECATALOG parameter is specified or when the define is for an alias of a catalog.
- DELETE command, when the RECOVERY parameter is specified.
- EXPORT command, when the object to be exported is a BCS.
- IMPORT command, when the object to be imported is a BCS or the calling program supplied an auxiliary list (aux list) and the list includes a pointer to an ACERO. This would cause SMS to bypass ACS processing. This will result in the message IDC31658I INVALID AUTHORIZATION TO BYPASS ACS PROCESSING.
- PRINT command, when the object to be printed is a catalog.
- REPRO command, when a BCS is copied or merged. SHCDS command.
- VERIFY command, when a BCS is to be verified.
