RE: Security Level 20 to Level 30 questions.

We, too, still live in the 36E. It has been ages, but I think I moved us from 20 to 30 in the middle of the day. Same with 30 to 40 soon afterwards.

In very early stages of planning so I should have time to research and
test. I will read the links all of you gave me.
I like the thought of going to 40, I will see if I can get management to do
it.
Talking about S/36 environment, we are still running in it.
The reason I was leaving *SPLCTL was that many users access other users'
spool files. Need to read about it allowing batch job control.

Thanks

I agree with Bryan. Go to level 40 or 50.
There are two schools of thought here.
1) Baby steps: Go to level 30 and once that is shaken out, then go to
level 40.
2) Jeepers, it's taken decades to make the leap to level 30. Do you want
to wait decades to go to level 40? Get the pain and suffering over with
and do them both now.

We started out at level 30. We came from a S/36. We also learned the hard
way that testing all the applications as someone with all special
authorities was a VERY BAD idea. That was a whole new concept for us.

if going to 30 you might as well look to get to 40.
there is some additional checking you'll need to do, but it is mostly

easy.

I have been wanting to clean this up for some time. If we get the new
system it will be time. I know going to a Power 10 will bump my Level

20

to a Level 30. So I am looking at my system to figure out the impact.
