Issue/Introduction

Customer received a security error in the processor that gave a path that could not be accessed.

 <insert path>: cannot execute: reason code = 5bc80004: EDC5111I Permission denied.

Cause

 The customer's security context for the processor step executing BPXBATCH (IBM USS utility program) is determined by the STDPARM 'SH'.

//<step> EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH
 //STDPARM  DD *
  SH set -b;

Resolution

Have the customer run the Alternate ID trace (EN$TRAUI). This will help to reveal the security for this step. The security context of the STDPARM 'SH' for EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH is the Alternate ID. Have the customer provide their security team the path and the Alternative ID that requires access.
