              Before applying this PTF, ensure that users running programs    
              that read VVDSs directly have at least read authority to the    
              VVDSs. Discrete profiles do not work on VVDS data sets.        
                                                                             
              Here is an example of how to give read authority to all users  
              via RACF generic profile:                                      
                                                                             
              ADDSD 'SYS1.VVDS.V*' UACC(READ)                                
                                                                             
              After applying the PTF and IPLing if you receive SAF            
              authorization fail messages for the VVDS, this means that you  
              have users that do not have the needed authority. If the access
              is intended, then grant those users appropriate authority via a
              generic profile.                                                
                                                                             
             
     Opens of VSAM data sets are not affected by this change.).
