Specifying Security System Actions and Messages › Security Action/Message Tables › The Default SAMT Entries

The Default SAMT Entries

Each SAMT includes two default entries, #DFLTMSG and #DFLTRC, which cannot be deleted. These entries tell the product what to do when it receives return codes and message IDs that are not specified in the list.

• #DFLTMSG determines what happens when the software receives a message ID that is not specified in the SAMT.
• #DFLTRC determines what happens when the software receives a return code that is not specified in the SAMT.

You can specify the action, cursor position, message suppression, and message substitution for these default entries, depending on the security system you are using:

• If you have RACF you will only need to specify information for the #DFLTRC entry.
• If you have CA ACF2, you will only need to specify information for the #DFLTMSG entry.
• If you have SAF or CA Top Secret you must specify information for both.
