I agree there are just too many ways around it. You *might* be able to
do via "normal" (BLDL SCRATCH etc) but after that there are a few ways
around it.
---------------------<unsnip>----------------------
If a user has UPDATE authority to a PDS, he can scratch a member using
STOW, with the DELETE operand. Member-level protection won't exist until
there are mechanisms in the BSAM/BPAM access code, as well as STOW, BLDL
and FIND. And EXCP/XDAP access brings up a whole new set of issues.
I'm not holding my breath; the overhead would be staggering.
