I wonder how it does that? (Screen fields) We had a CICS menu system that only gave users app selections they were allowed to use, but it used a called program that called RACF, it saved individual menu data in TS chained off the TCTUA. Users never entered trans id’s.

That’s the first time I’ve heard that. Medical Mutual of Ohio, whom I worked for from 2003-2017, used TSS from before HIPAA and we always joked (assumed) that it was because TSS was cheaper. Perhaps your reasoning is more likely.I was the installer/maintenance of TSS person at Medical Mutual. HIPAA was a huge focus because of the penalties for violations.

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 On 2026-08-11 18:41, Dick Williams wrote: > Yes. And yes it is still available & supported.
