Application development is the process of planning, designing, and coding
application programs that invoke RACF functions. This section highlights new
support that might affect application development procedures:
Programming interfaces
RELEASE=2.4 keyword on macros
Changes to RACROUTE REQUEST=FASTAUTH

For a summary of changes to the programming interfaces for RACF for OS/390
Release 4, see:

Figure 6 on page 17
RELEASE=2.4 Keyword on Macros
The RACROUTE, ICHEINTY, ICHEACTN, and ICHETEST macros support the
value 2.4 on the RELEASE keyword, although they do not support new keywords
that would require RELEASE=2.4 to be specified. Customers are not required to
update existing programs to specify RELEASE=2.4. You should only use the
RELEASE=2.4 keyword if you are using new keywords.
FASTAUTH Changes
Changes in this release allow:
LOGSTR= parameter to be specified on the RACROUTE
REQUEST=FASTAUTH macro
Message suppression (MSGSUPP=YES) to be specified on the RACROUTE
REQUEST=FASTAUTH macro
ACEEALET=alet_addr parameter on RACROUTE REQUEST=FASTAUTH to
specify ALET value of any address space where an ACEE resides
