Not yet. However, in IBM's recent preview announcement of z/OS 2.4, IBM said there are plans to add at least two data set types to z/OS 2.4's Data Set Encryption: JES2-managed data sets on SPOOL, and PDSE. IBM expects z/OS 2.4 will be generally available in September, 2019. If that's not soon enough, ask your friendly IBM Representative whether and how it'd be possible to participate in any z/OS Early Support Program (ESP). The usual disclaimers apply, including possible changes in IBM's plans. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
