IGD17012I USER NOT AUTHORIZED TO DEFINE DATA SET

[demecarv]

I tried for the first time to create a Data Set and I got the message below. I can see the message related to permission but I am wondering if it might be in result of some wrong parameter set in previous screen. I pasted the values from previous screen below. Could someone confirm if the "not authorized" message could be caused by some parameter typed or it is really related to my permission? Since I am in development TSO/E I wasn't expected to be blocked. Is there a way to check if I have permission to create DataSet someway?

the fastest way to solve Your problem is to ask Your support

You need to check if you've access to create the data-set with "PREFIX*" as the high level qualifier. Why not try with your RACF ID as prefix for the new data-set.

Values in the 'previous screen' looks fine but there are too many redundant "," I see, possibly a typo. OTOH, I don't have access to mainframe to check if that's allowed...

* - I understand that you're using "PREFIX" as a symbolic for this post but you need to verify, in your shop as enrico has said, if you've access to create the data with that prefix otherwise your own RACF ID is a good choice, usually.

The HLQ that you tried using is more than likely a PRODUCTION file HLQ and you are not authorized to created any Production files, as stated use your user id for creating files.

Thanks. Instead of prefix word I typed my user id and it worked. I am confused about the statement above: what does it exactly mean ""PREFIX*" as the high level qualifier"? What is the difference between I created the data set by using my user id in "Project" field instead of the term prefix? I am following the guide "Introduction to the new mainframe z/OS Basics", chapter 4. The simple exercise shows how to allocate certain Data Set named Area.Code and order it via certain CLIST. I want to create my own data set and order it as my first CLIST in mainframe.

PREFIX has never been defined as a HLQ, and I would hope that it never would be. most all system have been setup with Production and Development file each with there only HLQ and setup with the proper authorizations. As with your user id you have the authorization to create, delete, rename any of your files.

I think Anuj meant to say that check what is allowed to at your shop to be used as the first qualifier for your data-set name.
