Re: Prevent creation of a logical over a physical

Walden

This is the straight stuff from the manual

To create a keyed logical file over one or more physical files, the user
must have object operational and object management authorities or object
alter authority for each of the files specified on the PFILE or JFILE
keywords in DDS. To create a non-keyed logical file, only object
operational authority is required.

So removing Management or Alter rights should stop keyed logicals, but not,
it appears, unkeyed logicals.

Can you restrict the CRTLF command? Or do they need it for other things?

Hmm

We'd like to prevent the programmers from creating logicals over a physical
in our test environment. We thought removing 'Management' authority would be
sufficient, but it's not. Any ideas? The programmers still need to be able
to read the data so we can't remove Operational rights.
