CA Top Secret supports member level security in a PDS or PDSE, allowing a variance of access authority to users of the dataset versus an individual member. We have that plugged in. A few months ago, there was a problem that led me to open an issue with Top Secret to verify what they do, and with another vendor to determine why their program hung on failed access at the member level.
The other vendor runs RACF, and today told me his RACF Admin says RACF does not support member level protection. Not being a RACF guy, I went to the books. Neither the Admin Guide or User's Guide yielded anything to searches on 'member protection' or 'member level protection'. I would have sworn all three major security packages supported this function, but I can't find anything to verify that. Will someone who knows the true scoop hook me up with either "No, RACF doesn't do that" or "Hey, dope. Look at <reference here>".
