z/OS Contents Supervision - Request for API's/Exit Points for RACF PROGRAM Class Verification Checks

As z/OS Contents Supervision does not issue standard RACF/SAF interfaces to check profiles in the RACF PROGRAM class when loading programs/modules into storage, the IBM zSecure Admin Access Monitor does not get sight of the authorisation check as the RACF authorisation exit points are not driven. We have several customers that have requested that IBM zSecure Admin Access Monitor provide support for the RACF PROGRAM class, but in order to do this, zSecure will need to either (i) be able to invoke API's/Installation Exit points provided by z/OS Conents Supervision to collect this information or (ii) for z/OS Contents Supervision to use the standard RACF authorisation services when checking profiles in the PROGRAM class so that the relevant RACF installation exit point are driven.
