Issue/Introduction

Does resource permit  ACCESS(UPDATE) imply READ access ?

Resolution

For UPDATE to imply READ, the Access hex value must be 6000, not 8000.

For example:

TSS LIS(RDT) RESCLASS(DATASET)

ACCESSORID = *RDT*     NAME       = RESOURCE DEFINITIONS

  RESOURCE CLASS = DATASET
   RESOURCE CODE = X'0C4'
       ATTRIBUTE = MASKABLE,MAXOWN(26),MAXPERMIT(044),ACCESS,LIB,PRIVPGM,DEFPROT
ACCESS = NONE(0000),FETCH(8000),UPDATE(6000),READ(4000),WRITE(2000)
ACCESS = CREATE(1000),SCRATCH(0800),CONTROL(0400),INQUIRE(0080)
ACCESS = SET(0040),ALL(FFFF)
DEFACC = READ
