ACID "%"

The character “%” represents the ACID of the user specified in the TSS command.

If TSS PERMIT(USER52) DSNAME(%.MAIL) ACCESS(ALL), then USER52 will have full access to the data set named USER52.MAIL.

This capability can be used to permit all TSO users full access to data sets prefixed by their ACID.

The MSCA must own the "%." character. Only the MSCA can own a special character.

TSS ADDTO(MSCA acid) DSNAME(%.)

An CA Top Secret Administrator may now PERMIT all TSO users to have all access to any data set prefixed by an ACID.

TSS PERMIT(ALL) DSNAME(%.)
                FACILITY(TSO)
                ACCESS(ALL)

CA Top Secret recognizes a special technique to specify a portion of the userid used as a mask. The special technique uses the % character in conjunction with values identifying the start and length of the userid being entered.

Example: using the %

This example permits TUSER01 access to data set USER01:

TSS PERMIT(TUSER01) DSNAME(%26%)
