• JCLCheck Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

JCLCheck generates error CAY6329E access denied even though option BYPRUNT(DSE) to bypass checking data set existence is specified. Error message is:

CAY6329E ACCESS DENIED TO dataset_name BY SECURITY RC=08 ACCESS LEVEL=READ FOR ACID=userid

Environment

Release: 12.0
Component: JCLCheck Workload Automation

Cause

The security error occurs because the dataset is allocated to the SYSTSIN DD statement. The JCLCheck option CTLSCAN is the default.  With this option JCLCheck tries to read and interpret the input control statements of certain utility programs. In this case JCLCheck is trying to read the SYSTSIN dataset to validate the input control statements.

Resolution

Use JCLCheck runtime option NOCTL to bypass the checking and validation of control statements.  This means that the SYSTSIN DD control data set will not be read.
