Viewing SAFDEF Records

The SHOW SAFDEF and SHOW ALL subcommands display the values in the SAFDEF record. The SHOW SAFDEF output displays the following information:

SFSFILEA  JOBNAME=********  USERID=********  PROGRAM=********  RB=********
          RETCODE=0         SAFDEF=INTERNAL  MODE=IGNORE       SUBSYS=ACF2

Here is how to interpret the output of the SHOW SAFDEF command, from left to right:

SFSFILEA

The ID field of the SAFDEF record is defined as ID(SFSFILEA).

JOBNAME=********

The JOBNAME field of the SAFDEF record was not specified so CA ACF2 for VM used the default, all service machines.

USERID=********

The USERID field of the SAFDEF record was not specified so CA ACF2 for VM used the default, all user IDs.

PROGRAM=********

This field is not active for VM sites. For more information for this field, see the CA ACF2 for VM for z/OS and OS/390 Administrator Guide.

RB=********

This field is not active for VM sites. For more information for this field, see the CA ACF2 for VM for z/OS and OS/390 Administrator Guide.

RETCODE=0

The RETCODE field of the SAFDEF record is defined as RETCODE(0) so that CA ACF2 for VM allows the request when MODE=IGNORE is specified.

SAFDEF=INTERNAL

This field indicates that this SAFDEF record was created by CA. If this record was created by your site in a SAFDEF record, the display would read SAFDEF=VMO.

MODE=IGNORE

The MODE field of the SAFDEF record is defined as MODE(IGNORE) so that CA ACF2 for VM bypasses processing of this request.

SUBSYS=ACF2

This field indicates that this record is for the CA ACF2 for VM subsystem.
User‑defined SAFDEF records are always targeted to all SAF processing subsystems (****).
