If I know the resource class in the RACROUTE call, how can I tell what type code is used for resource rules

Issue/Introduction

How does ACF2 translates a RACROUTE class to a type code and then uses that type code to look for rules to be used in validation?

 

 

Environment

Release: ACF2..001AO-15-ACF2
Component:

Resolution

ACF
SHOW CLASMAP
END

will show the order that ACF2 will search the in storage CLASMAP table. The first instance found for a class will show the type code to be used.

 

SHOW CLASMAP
...
CPSMXMP     SAF    44                                   11   
CRYPTOZ     CRY    246                                  578  
CSFKEYS     CSK    73                           EXT     98  
CSFKEYS     SAF    73                                   98 
...

 

In this listing, a new CLASMAP was added for CSFKEYS. The EXT means "external" which is a user defined addition. So for this list, class CSFKEYS will use type code CSK, not the default shipped with ACF2, SAF.

 

If there is no default type code defined for a resource class, CA ACF2 will use the first 3 characters of the resource class as the type code.
