SPOOLOPEN/WRITE to submit a job from CICS

Hi All,

I'm using SPOOLOPEN/WRITE etc. to submit a job from CICS. By default it is taking the CICS user id as submitter and giving security error. Is there any way that we could override the submitter parameter?

Thanks
Prasad

possibly the documentation will indicate which/how parms are provided.

When you say CICS userid, do you mean the USER that is invoking the transaction that issues the SPOOLOPEN/WRITE API CALLs? If you have a decent security set-up on your system, if a USER has authority to invoke a transaction, then the USER has authority to submit a job via the API.

We SUBMIT via INTRDR here and that allows us to control the USERID.

someone that uses the SPOOLOPEN/WRITE APIs can tell you and save you the trouble of looking it up.
