     task abends with a ICH408I INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY
     message.

     successfully run.

     started task attempts to back up that member, and the started
     task does not have READ access to that data set, message
     'CYG411W Member not backed up. READ access required.' will be
     issued. The started task will no longer abend.
  2. Message 'CYG210W READ access required for surveillance.' will
     be issued when the SURVEILLANCE command is run by a user that
     does not have READ access to a specified data set. The job
     will no longer abend.
  3. The started task protection list will always refresh after a
     PROTECT, REPROTECT or UNPROTECT command is successfully run.
