MVS operator command issue

2016-01-24 Thread Scott Ford
All: I have a scenario i would like to explain ... 1. Cobol STC , uses assembler module to read records that are placed in SP 231. The data is persistent. This data is read into a secondary index for dup checking. My issue is if someone issues a 'C stcname' the the customer can loose data.
