API's

[D.BALE@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Frank, am I missing something obvious here?  A malicious hacker can do all the
damage he/she wants with plain 'ole CL, RPG, COBOL, etc.  APIs are not
required here.

As far as determining what the "important production files" are, I suppose
someone could use information from DSPOBJD to determine object size (big file?
= important), last date used, number of days used.  DSPFD can show number of
different accesses.  What makes a file an "important production file"?

I'm very curious as to what made you ask this particular question.

Hi - Is there an API that would allow a malicious hacker to determine what are
 important production files, and damage them, either delete or change/add
 records?
