Hi

In normal JCL job card we can give as
// CLASS=0,NOTIFY=@,user=xxxxxx,password=xxxxxx

so when we submit the job it will take the user specified in the job card

similarly how to do in rexx.
I need to give the userid and password to exec the command REXX1

PROC 0 DEBUG
EX 'Xxxxx.xxxxx(rexx1)'
EXIT

You cannot do it
user gets assigned password gets checked at job (batch/stc ) start at TSO logon period

You should speak to your security admin to allow the use of surrogate submission.

Do you just want them to be able to run the exec? does this exec submit a job? If it does not then you only need to put it into a libaray that they are authorized to use (and is in their logon concatenation). And why wrap it in a CLIST?

In many shops, giving your password to someone else is a firing offense. Even if it's legitimate, you should never ever leave a clear text password in a dataset, though it's OK, I guess, if the password area is junk characters that are overlaid with the real password just before you submit the job.

One situation where you often have to insert a userid and password is if you are submitting a job to run in another node.
