Program Control & PADS

Using the PROGRAM class in RACF is often viewed as complex, difficult, and mysterious. While it is true that some functions may be complex and difficult (yes, and even mysterious) other functions of program control are really quite simple. And even the difficult functions can be made easier by following some simple guidelines. This session will describe RACF program control in detail, from the simple functions to the complex ones, including the major changes made in z/OS R4.

 

Who Should You Trust?

Why worry about it so much?
