From an ISPF Command line enter: TSO ISRDDN APF An APF List results. On the Command line enter: DUPlicates (Make sure there is appropriate access. If there is not, you may receive insufficient access errors.) If any of the list of Sensitive Utilities exist in the duplicate APF modules returned, this is a finding. The following list contains Sensitive Utilities that will be checked.

Review and ensure that duplicate sensitive utility(ies) and/or program(s) do not exist in APF-authorized libraries. Identify all versions of the sensitive utilities contained in APF-authorized libraries listed in the above check. In cases where duplicates exist, ensure no exposure has been created and written justification has been filed with the ISSO. Comparisons among all the APF libraries will be done to ensure that an exposure is not created by the existence of identically named modules. Address any sensitive utility concerns so that the function can be restricted as required.
