How do I prevent the dashes in “-group-“ and “-any-“ from displaying in the User column of a normal access list. When we send our report as CSV to a spreadsheet, the dashes are interpreted as an arithmetic formula. 

My Carla code:

suppress ckfreeze                                          

  newlist type=racf                                         

  select c=dataset owner=(billyjoe) and acl(access>READ)     

  def acl   subselect acl(access>read)                      

  sortlist searchkey(nd) key('RACF DSN Profile',44) owner acl(sort,26) acl:name    

My dataset owner report:

RACF DSN Profile         Owner    User     Access  ACL id    Name           

CATALOG.VB50004          BILLYJOE - any -  CONTROL *                        

                                  -group-  ALTER   SYS1                     

                                  DUMPJOB  ALTER   DUMPJOB   CAT DUMP STC
