i want to give access to everyone to my datasets and gdgs becoz one job is failing as its not able to read the dataset which has a high level qualifier as my id.
so please can anyone suggest or give me command

in my shop A.14 and i know how to give access to specific user id but not for jobs or all groups. so that they can read.

I had the same situation at my previous shop. The default was to not allow read access to other user IDs. The quick work-around was to copy the data set to a name with a HLQ that was accessible to all. The long term solution was to contact the security folks and make my data sets readable to all.

Hello,

Just a thought. . .

If a dataset is needed for production, maybe it should not be associated with some specific user id. What would be the reason to continue to use a personal dataset once the process has been promoted to production?

Suggest a production hlq/dsn for the dataset and proper security permissions to ensure only proper updates are done to the dataset.

Definitely go with Dick's suggestion. I assumed this was a development or test file, not a production one.

Have your contacted your site security group for assistance? They're very likely aware of the command immediately, and a lot of sites do not permit certain security functions to be performed by programmers, in which case they would have to issue the command anyway.

I should guess that this topic is in response to the reply to your previous topic.

You really need to talk to the people responsible for CONTROL-M to see which standards and policies are in place.

Re-read all the suggestion which has been posted about security check and if you pass all of them here is a REXX which I use to grant READ access for the profile "USERID.*"

cmsmoon, did you not notice this topic is more than 3 1/2 years old? After 2 1/2 years on this forum, you haven't seen anyone be told to start a new topic instead of adding to an old one?

And since you gave us the error message without telling us what you were doing, what help do you want us to give you? Guess at what you did and hence guess at the answer?
