Shmuel, The first question is what they mean by "supports member level security in a PDS or PDSE." Are they talking about checking access only on OPEN, or also on FIND and STOW? It would be trivial to circumvent controls on FIND for PDS.
I don't know the particulars of what, precisely, Top Secret checks. Top Secret allows a security admin to restrict access to certain members within a PDS, while allowing access to others. When it checks, how it checks, what it does when checks fail or succeed, is not my concern at this time. Correct; if you want to submit a requirement for that facility, spell out in detail what you want protected. I didn't say I wanted RACF to do anything. As stated in my original post, I wanted to know if it offered the member level protection functionality.
