Memory in CICS could indeed be a problem. But, as you stated, the programs authorized to run in a particular CICS region are specified by the CICS sysprog (well, unless program autoinstall is used). If a program deals with sensitive data and it is felt that the programming staff cannot be trusted <burr>, then that transaction and its programs really need to reside in a separate, highly secured, CICS region. Another possibility is to run with "Transaction Isolation". This, however, has horrible overhead. But it does protect transaction memory almost as well as running in separate address spaces. <snip> > > Chris Blaicher - personal opinions only -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
