Fix Recommendation

If the IDMSUTAB load module needs to be updated to secure and audit the OCF/BCF commands, re-run the #UTABGEN macro to create an updated version. Here is an example of the syntax:
#UTABGEN (FORMAT,14,PRINTPAGE,14)

This syntax assigns the FORMAT and PRINTPAGE commands to activity 14, which can now be secured by the RHDCSRTT module.

If the IDMSCTAB load module needs updated to secure and audit the DCMT commands, update the #CTABGEN macro to create an updated version. Here is an example of the syntax:
#CTABGEN (B,2),(N022,B,N050,B)

This syntax assigns security label B to activity #2, then it assigns the tasks DCMT VARY MEMORY and DCMT VARY LOADLIB to security label B. With this definition, secure activity #2 appropriately in the RHDCSRTT module.

Check Contents

Examine load module IDMSCTAB by executing CA IDMS utility IDMSCTAD, or by issuing command "DCMT DISPLAY CTAB" while signed onto the CV and reviewing the output.

Note: This requires PTF SO08199.

If there is execution of certain OCF/BCF commands that have not defined in the IDMSCTAB module using the #CTABGEN macro, this is a finding.

If these task codes are defined to the IDMSCTAB module but have not been defined for the related activities to the RHDCSRTT module, this is a finding.

If the execution of DCMT utility command codes is not defined in the IDMSUTAB module using the #UTABGEN macro, this is a finding.

Examine load module IDMSUTAB using CA IDMS utility IDMSUTAD, or by issuing command 'DCMT DISPLAY UTAB' while signed onto the CV, and reviewing the output.

Note: This requires PTF SO08527.

If IDMSUTAB load module defined commands but has not defined the related activities to the RHDCSRTT module, this is a finding.

If any of the above tasks are completed from local mode, utilize a custom EXIT 14 to trigger a security check that will go through the ESM. If an EXIT 14 is not configured for each situation, this is a finding.
