Personally, I shudder. Talk about a massive violation of security.

What is the violation?
Of
course, this is why I would __NEVER__ store z/OS data on anything other
than z/OS DASD (no, not even FlexCUB).
What about other mainframe users, which have READ to the datasets and
are able to copy and e-mail them ?
If the DASD array can be accessed
by __anything__ other than z/OS via standard z/OS facilities, it is a
disaster (or security violation) waiting to happen. I can imagine what a
state board of insurance auditor would say if our company stored
mainframe HIPAA data on a PC with no access controls guaranteed. <burr>!
It's likely that your "z/OS DASD" can be accessed by open systems as
well. Or badly-managed z/OS system. It is a matter of connectivity. In
fact we talk about physical security here. Same means could apply to
Shai's PC or Support Element, or HMC, or OSA-ICC consoles.
