Seems the right thing to do is to educate the security policy makers about IFS security. Just as with a Windows/Unix/Linux server, there's a thing called permissions. The PDF document could be stored in a secured directory. As Dan suggests, you could create a database file a BLOB field for the PDF data. You would need to read the stream file in order to load it or write a stream file to recreate the PDF. Alternately there is another database field type called a DATALINK which contains the URL (path) of the PDF file. If setup with "database permissions", the system will secure the PDF file in the IFS and require an "access token" read from the database file in order to reference the PDF file. Yes the PDF is still in the IFS, but it's secured (no public authority).

We want to store a PDF that is generated outside the AS/400 in either a file or an outq on the AS/400. We're receiving the PDF file via MQSeries from a mainframe document system. We can't use the easy way of storing it to the IFS for "silly" corporate security issues, but thought maybe we could somehow store it in a DB2 file or even as a spool file in a dedicated outq. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Tim Chrysler
