Define an O/S Started Task to the STC Record

When JES is started, one or more JCL library concatenations are defined to resolve and expand procedure name references by JCL EXEC statements and O/S console START commands. Jobs which require procedure expansion already have an assigned USER on the JOB statement.

CA Top Secret uses a special STC record to assign security to started tasks initiated from the START command.

STC record entries consist of the keyword information:

PROCNAME

An exact procedure name, corresponding to a JES-defined procedure library member; a procedure name prefix, which matches the initial characters of a procedure library member; or the pseudo-procedure member DEFAULT, which defines the ACID or action assignment for started tasks whose procedure does not match any defined PROCNAME on the STC record.

ACID

Defines a predefined ACID on the security file or the action:

STCACT

(Optional) Indicates that the console operator is prompted to enter an ACID and PASSWORD for the entry of the START command at the console. The ACID entered is only used to log accountability for the START command only. The ACID is not used to assign security to the execution of the started task.
