Ok, Thanks. That helps a lot. I was wondering if you meant 'their' instead of 'there'. >I a$$ume you want to avoid sharing that dataset.

Ok, I now understand. I certainly don't recommend sharing a PS dataset containing sensitive information. Rather, have your programmers use their OWN PS dataset containing these sensitive details. Or see below for alternative approach. >>If you use a dataset as input source to do your FTP, you need READ access to >>that dataset.? >correct, without read access there job get failed but my Of course, Did you considered SURROGAT Class in RACF if you _MUST_ share that FTP.XX? (If that FTP.XX contains sensitive data from that 'other mainframe'.) You setup an userid for FTP purposes, give access to your shared FTP.XX to that id only. Give access to your programmers to SURROGAT class, something like this: <FTP id>.SUBMIT and give READ access to all your programmers. That FTP job submitted by your programmers then receives as owner the FTP id which then can read your shared PS dataset. In this way your programmers can't see the contents of that [shared] PS dataset. Just setup your job that these details are not shown on the spool! HTH!
