Tony, This was a pilot project for a much larger undertaking described earlier in
http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0603&L=ibm- main&P=R72543&I=1&X=21DAFC1EBEDB03E70A&Y=Victor_Gil%40adp.com I did not look at UNIX because the data to be masked is currently accessed either through batch or via dynamic allocation. Now I am going to move all the I/O logic to a subtask [attached by OPEN, detached by CLOSE] so that all the business [data masking] logic can be written in Cobol/LE and let the applications programmers to implement individual file handlers. I will then add the DD parser to perform dynamic allocation based on the passed kewords [my pilot merely accessed another file pre-allocated through JCL] and logic to determine the file DSORG. For each DSORG there will be a correspondent "server" routine to perform requested I/O. Sounds interesting? I love it!
