JCLCHECK CAY6321W ACCESS LEVEL=SCRATCH AND UPDATE ON IDCAMS DELETE

Products

• JCLCheck Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

Security validation on IDCAMS DELETE statement: 

- With runtime option VSAM:  CAY6321W POTENTIAL SECURITY VIOLATION DETECTED "DATASET, ACCESS LEVEL=UPDATE" ACID = "G00"

- With runtime option CSI:      CAY6321W POTENTIAL SECURITY VIOLATION DETECTED "DATASET, ACCESS LEVEL=SCRATCH" ACID = "G00"

Why the difference? 

Environment

Release:  12.0
Component: JCLCheck Workload Automation

Resolution

IDCAMS uses ACCESS LEVEL=SCRATCH on the DELETE function.  Therefore the JCLCheck runtime option CSI returns the correct access level. 

Runtime option VSAM is no longer valid, and is no longer used.  Option CSI replaces option VSAM.
