VSAM is simply a file. Standard file protections apply. If you let someone write to the file, he can write. As you mentioned "online period" your query might be CICS related. If CICS has the proper controls the end user cannot run an arbitrary transaction and the file resource can be protected. Of course, if CICS is not properly controlled, i.e., anyone can add programs without review, a transaction would be able to do things with the authority of the CICS job. -- Binyamin Dissen <bdis...@dissensoftware.com> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
