Thanks for the only reply on this inquiry.

But a logical file will still allow you to view all records
(transactions) in the view.  Unless you want to create (and
secure) a separate logical file for every record in the PF (how
ugly!!), logicals won't help.

Also, column level authority does not work for reads....  only
updates.   And still, it seems like what people are really looking
for is row level security, or a combination of row/column level
security.  I still don't see how OS/400 object level security
helps here.
