Hello,
I'm wondering if there is any product that allows dumping an offline
volume.
In fact, each night, we backup all our production's 3390 DASDs on EMC
BCVs.
I would like to save them on 3592 using ADRDSSU...
In course, all of these BCVs are offline.
Is there any product that allows it?

Have any of you gone through PCI accreditation and, if so, did you have

Sorry, yes. I should have said this is RACF, and z/OS 1.4.
I've seen the built-in RACF password rules but they aren't flexible enough for
this, as they are concerned with actual character positions within the password
rather than counts of character occurrences etc.
I would be very grateful

Awesome! Yes, I personally would LOVE to see more sessions recorded.
Budgets being what they are (i.e., tight as a drumhead), it is nonetheless
