Implementing Security with IBM RACF › Job Submission › RACF USERID Format

RACF USERID Format

For USERID insertion, CA WA CA 7 Edition modifies the last statement of the JCL JOB statement to add the USERID. A comma is added to the last statement to indicate continuation, and a USER= statement follows to supply the USERID. The following example illustrates the JCL statement format used during ID insertion.

  // USER=userid

Note: If a password is required, RACF inserts the USERID password. This function is an automatic function related to Job Submission.

The SUBNOID parameter is used to specify whether a job can be submitted without a USERID. If SUBNOID equals YES, the job is submitted without a USERID. If SUBNOID equals NO, the job is moved back to the request queue with a status of R-NOUID.

The R-NOUID status indicates the following:

• All candidate USERID sources in the hierarchy were scanned without finding a USERID for the job.
• The SUBNOID parameter requested that jobs are not submitted without a USERID.
