Using Command Limiting to Protect the Spool Queue

As previously explained, there are six ways to protect your spool queue, by class, form, class and form, spool file owner class and target, and destination. We have included sample rules here for each method to help you understand how you should write these rules. These rules are shown in the decompiled format.

When practicing writing rules, you must use actual user IDs. If you do not use real user IDs, test results can be incorrect. CA ACF2 for z/ VM checks the VM directory for user IDs and issues the following messages if you use an undefined user ID, even though the rule is correct:

ACFpgm751W  No applicable rule could be found
ACFpgm757W  Command syntax error (operand number <nn> is in error)
