Access Authorization

When CA XCOM Data Transport opens a file, IBM RACF uses the access authority granted to the CA XCOM Data Transport address space rather than to the user. Therefore, CA XCOM Data Transport should be given access authority for all data sets (except for sensitive data sets that will never be needed by CA XCOM Data Transport users). 913 abends indicate that a user has authorization to access a data set, but the CA XCOM Data Transport address space does not. In this case, CA XCOM Data Transport sends an error message to the user.
