Fix Recommendation

Configure Write or greater access to SYS1.SVCLIB to be limited to system programmers only and all WRITE or greater access is logged and reviewed. Evaluate the impact of correcting the deficiency. Develop a plan of action and implement the changes for SYS1.SVCLIB. SYS1.SVCLIB contains SVCs and I/O appendages as such: they are very powerful and will be strictly controlled to avoid compromising system integrity.
