Resource type

Specifies the three‑character type code that defines the type of resource this rule set protects.

Rulekey

Specifies the $KEY value of the rule set. The $KEY control statement supplies the name of the resource that this rule was written for. A resource rule name can represent many different objects, depending on the resource TYPE.
CA ACF2 for VM‑defined type codes are ACT, ALG, GRP, DIA, IUC, and VMC. For information on these types codes, see the “About Resource Rules” chapter. For example, for DIA, the $KEY rule ID is the ID of a user in the VM directory that another user wants to dial to. For ACT, the $KEY rule ID is an eight‑character account code that you define. The rule ID can be up to 40 characters long. However, for most CA ACF2 for VM‑defined resource types, only the first eight characters are significant. You can mask this field with standard CA ACF2 for VM masking characters.

Prefix

Specifies a value that overrides the rule set key as a prefix to all resource names in this rule set. You can specify up to 24 characters.

Recname

Used for MVS record‑level protection. CA ACF2 for VM does not use recname. Specifies the name of a RECORD definition record. For more information, see the CA ACF2 for VM for z/OS and OS/390 Administrator Guide.

Note: CA ACF2 for VM cannot maintain RECORD definition records.

Userdata

Use this space for any comments you care to enter. This information does not affect the rule set. This field can contain up to 64 characters. Unlike comment statements that are removed when the rule set is compiled, CA ACF2 for VM stores the information you enter in this field with the rule set.

Sort option

Specifies how CA ACF2 for VM sorts the rule set. If you enter 1 or Y in this field, CA ACF2 for VM does not sort the rule set from most specific to most general. This field does not appear if sort option is not active at your site.
