    As of the November 2024 service stream enhancement to zSecure 3.1, pre- and post-commands can be REXX execs that are executed via System REXX.

    Hi Hans, thanks for confirmation. In that case with the context for USER1 that's fine.

    Yes it would run as as USER1.

    Hi Hans, yes that would be fine. I assume when you state 'running with the authority of the terminal user' that would be the user triggered the profile to be checked or the user in question?

    lets assume user USER1 executes a command for USER2 and ADDs a TSO segment that triggers the profile C4R.ALTUSER.=PSTCMD.TSO.ADD to be checked that would then trigger the REXX. This REXX would then run as USER1 or USER2?

    Would it be ok to support running the REXX synchronously under System REXX? That would be a TSO=YES environment, and running with the authority of the terminal user, but without the temporary RACF attributes currently available to pre and post commands. It would not support CLISTs.
