Hi Dick,
Way back in 2002, I worked for Missouri and Illinois state government.
This shop was TSS. I asked why and was told that it is the only ESM that can protect fields on a CICS Screen (rather than the whole screen). Apparently it was related to HIPAA.
The other (less granular) 2 only go as far as the screen itself.

Regards,
David

Yes. And yes it is still available & supported. Although it is still a distant 3rd

Isn't TSS Top Secret?  And still available and supported?

TSO perhaps? TSS has been dead since -- well, I'm sure @Shmuel can tell us.

RACF commands are utterly the same no matter where you enter them from. I used 
to do ALL of mine in batch TSO -- increasingly I am using my CBT associates' 
wonderful RACFADM, which is what the ISPF RACF menus should have been. Here's a 
GENCERT for you -- but your mileage will vary depending on what you are trying 
to accomplish. As the label; says, I was testing odd things, so this exact 
combo of operands may or may not have worked.

RACDCERT GENCERT                                    -
   WITHLABEL('Test.of.different.key.types')          -
   SUBJECTSDN( CN('CHARLES') T('CAM')                -
     O('CBT Tape')                                    -
     OU('Development') L('Sonoma')                    -
     SP('CA') C('US') )                              -
   KEYUSAGE(HANDSHAKE)                                -
   NISTECC                                            -
   SIZE(521)

Does anyone have any experience coding a GENCERT in TSS? And could send
me an example of what you coded
