Hi All,

When i try to execute the below Rexx program

/* REXX */
CONSOLE ACTIVATE
ADDRESS CONSOLE
"(D R,L)"
EXIT


Am getting the below error in the console

IKJ55305I THE CONSOLE COMMAND HAS TERMINATED.+
IKJ55305I USER H48S21 DOES NOT HAVE CONSOLE COMMAND AUTHORITY.
4 *-* "(D R,L)"
+++ RC(-3) +++
***



Kinldy let me know, what kind of access i should require to execute the Console command through REXX program. If you could give me the access name, i can request my security team to provide that access for my ID.

If You have the need to know/to do
Your security support will most probably be glad to grant You the needed permissions/authorizations
without You having to tell them
CONSOLE authority is rarely granted to non support/operations roles

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Suggest in the future you confirm that you have permission to do a "thing" before trying to implement code that uses this "thing".

Some organizations are not happy when developers try to use functionality or datasets that they do not have permission to use.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions....

My security team is not ready to provide me the Console Access. So i decided instead of Issuing the command from REXX, i can issue the MVS commands from JCL itself.

//ONLINE EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DATA,DLM='$$'
/*$VS,'D R,L'
$$

This Code works.....

Hello,

Just because this will dun does not mean that it is ok to use. . .

Suggest you need approval from "management" (at least an e-mail) confirming that you have permission to add what might be considered clutter to some others. . .

Just a caution. . .
