I really didn't want this to turn into an argument over whether this is necessary. Sarbanes Oxley, PCI, and other government regulations say it's necessary to comply, so anyone needing to comply with a whole host of these regs has the need to encrypt data at rest. Now... you don't need DASD that

One way to ensure the order of execution would be to have each job have a last step that submits the next job in sequence. If you submit 50 jobs with the same to the internal reader, they get put into the input queue in the order they come out of C/I processing, not in the order they hit the

I am working on an assembler routine to quickly locate any block in a very large sequential dataset. I am using the DCBE option on the DCB and have specified the BLOCKTOKENSIZE=LARGE parameter in the DCBE. This seems to be working because BSAM is accepting the TTTR large file format. The

There is the real issue. The PCI standard required that data needs to be encrypted when the data is at rest. But of course, they do NOT define what data is at rest means. Some say written to any media; but that is NOT what the PCI standard says. If it did, then no question. But the PCI standard
