2.5.1 Authorization Considerations

Because VCC allocates and opens for input VSAM catalogs, ICF
BCSs and VVDSs, and ENQs VTOCs, it must run as an
APF-authorized program.  All of the VCC modules are
link-edited with an authorization code of 1 and placed in the
CA MICS LOAD distribution library. To make sure that VCC runs
as an authorized program, you must perform one of the
following:

   o  Add the CA MICS LOAD distribution library name to the
      list of authorized libraries.  You can do this by
      adding the CA MICS LOAD distribution library name to
      the IEAAPFxx member in the SYS1.PARMLIB that is used
      for IPL.

   o  Copy the VCC modules from the CA MICS LOAD distribution
      library to a program products library whose name is
      already in the APF.

   o  Copy the VCC modules from the CA MICS LOAD distribution
      library to an authorized link list library.  All link
      list libraries are automatically authorized unless you
      change this default using the LNKAUTH parameter in
      SYS1.PARMLIB(IEASYS00).  SYS1.LPALIB is authorized only
      during IPL, otherwise it must be specifically placed in
      the APF or link list to be authorized.

The copy operations above can be done using the SAS PDSCOPY
facility (which is recommended), the IBM IEBCOPY facility (if
the blocking attribute of the two libraries is the same), or
the IBM linkage editor.
