Basically, no. If you have a security package, then that is the only way
that I know to set an access list to determine who can use / update / create
/ delete your files (PDS or other).

If you want, and are willing to take the chance of getting in trouble, then
you could try the following command on ISPF option 6:

ADDSD 'myuser.PROTECT.PDS' UACC(NONE)

Replace "myuser" in the above command with your actual TSO userid.

I don't know what this "sensitive" information is. If it is company
sensitive, then talk to your security admin to get it secured. If it is
personally sensitive, then don't keep it on your company's system. In our
company, I can look at literally anything that I want to. Nobody can stop
me, I'm am "root" (as the UNIX people say).

Now, if this is execution JCL, I have another possible option. Keep your JCL
on your PC. Use something like notepad to maintain it as a normal "text"
file. When you want to submit it as a job, just do an ftp session like:

ftp mainframe.ip.address
myuserid
mypass
quote site filetype=jes
put mysecure.job.jcl
quit


You might even be able to keep this on a USB thumb drive so that it is
physically secure.
