Mark, Are the PDS/e contain load modules?? If so, there is a way to secure the load modules, instead of the PDS/e, include COBOL.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the contents are safe. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We have a requirement to encrypt a certain class of mainframe data. While looking at doing so for PDS/e datasets (available with z/OS 2.4 and with PTFs on 2,2 and 2.3), I've run into a quandary. Storing program objects in an encrypted PDS/e isn't supported. I'm looking at the read-only ACS variables to see if I can ascertain whether a PDS/e will be storing program objects so I can bypass assigning our encryption dataclas, and there's nothing obvious for me to use. Has anyone come up with a solution for this? Mark Jacobs Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com), Swiss-based encrypted email.
