OPAU Control Block Variables

The )PROC section of security rules can also contain variables set to the value of fields in the OPAU control block that CA OPS/MVS passes to the user exit. Some OPAU variables are available for all security events, but most are valid for only one type of security event.

OPAU control block variables have these characteristics:

• OPSLOG Browse does not display them.
• OPAU variables containing bit data become OPS/REXX compound symbols that are either true (indicated by 1) or false (indicated by 0).
• OPAU variables containing integers become OPS/REXX compound symbols containing numeric data. When modifying one of these variables, take its significance or its sign into account.
• If an OPAU variable containing character data is set to a value larger than the size of an OPAU field, the variable is truncated upon return. If the variable value is shorter than an OPAU field, CA OPS/MVS adds trailing blanks to that value.
• You can change the SEC.OPAURQRC variable only by setting the return value through the OPS/REXX RETURN statement.
