Hi Anton/john, John your assumptions are correct,
1)Iam just a programmer. 2)Sensitive data (I should have clearly explained this point). My sensitive datas are training datasets which I have created dealing with training database. Many times I see?people trying to explore my dataset and run them. I dont mind ppl using my dataset but these program point?Training DB, Iam bit worried about this. I cant ask SAF to Protect since its my training dataset. Moreover keeping it in a notepad file is good option. But cant we make it bit easier(within Mainframes). 3) Database should be visible to me alone. 4) Iam using Z/OS. Hey JOHN Thanks a lot for all your valuable suggestion. I tried using TSO PROTECT , this is no more a working command. Any other solution? Hope I made it clear. Sorry for delayed response. Regards, Ram Balaji.S.

If it is personal data, then I'd strongly suggest that it does not belong on a company machine. > c) Who should be able to see this data ? ex. Only you, Your Department Again, on a company machine, "only you" should not be an option, IMO. Reminds me of some foolish print operators at a place that I used to work. The printer was a Xerox 8700 laser. The operators placed "sensitive personal" information in a file on it, thinking that nobody else would ever see it. Management was not amused when the machine was audited by a Xerox person. They were quickly shown the error of their ways, and the door. Any wonder that I'm paranoid? <grin>. > d) What operating system are you using Do PDS'es exist on anything other than z/OS? I know that z/VSE has something similar, but the name is different. At least according to my fading memory. > > Anton > -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from? A: Ein Stein. Maranatha!
