Hmm. No responses. Guess I'm not the only one who doesn't know what it means "to create a new user group and add scrrens to it?", and what either task has to do with REXX.

Could you please elaborate a bit?

Hi sweetselva !

"UserGroups" ???

Are you talking about defining groups in RACF ?
Are you talking about defining Users in TSO ?

Regards, UmeySan

If you're speaking of RACF, you would simply do an ADDGROUP command, viz:

Code:
ADDGROUP groupname OWNER(primarygroup) SUPGROUP(primarygroup) OMVS(GID(nnnnnnnnnn)) UNIVERSAL

where:
Code:
groupname

equals the name of the new group you wish to create
Code:
primarygroup

equals the name of an existing group one level above the new groupname you are creating. Check with your RACF team for this.
Code:
nnnnnnnn

equals the unique 8-digit number (between 1 and 4 294 967 295) used for an OMVS (USS) Group Identifier. Use this ONLY if this group is going to have user IDs attached which will require USS, and DON'T use 0 (super user) or you'll be surrounded by Auditors and RACF administrators assaulting you with limp strands of linguini (followed by a permanent ban from the Donut Table).
Code:
UNIVERSAL

which is used if this group needs an unlimited number of users attached. This should be used only very parsimoniously.

Hope this helps. Many thanks.
