this is from my (perhaps aptly named?) 'utlsane' job:

!if finfo("sysstart","ldev") <> 1
!  main.pub.vesoft;info='altfile sysstart;dev=1'
!endif
!if finfo("sscopy","exists")
!  purge sscopy
!endif
!copy sysstart,sscopy
!altsec sysstart;access=(r,l,x,w,a:CR)
!altsec sscopy;access=(r,l,x,w,a:CR)
!listfile sysstart,-3

(looks like i need to add logic for checking for fixed ascii....)

this job run every week.  for something so trivial and important at the
same time, a system manager would be well-advised to take a few minutes
to get such a job written and into production.

btw, the entire rest of the job does:

!buldacct '@'
!altsec buldjob1;access=(r,l,x,w,a:CR)
!altsec buldjob2;access=(r,l,x,w,a:CR)

add a job card (manager.sys) and a !eoj...and you're done ;-)      - d
