Re: Need to restrict User at Record level in file (Is it possible)

You can build logicals on the fly.

The CL calls an RPG to identify the branches this user may access, then uses that info to create a logical that only accesses that branch, then OVR specify that logical. It can be in QTEMP to limit long term disk space impact, and expedite cleanup afterwards.
Performancewise that's effective only on small physical files.:

Basically they can only access the physical through various logical files
or views. And the views or logical files could use selection criteria.
The problem with this is you then end up having multiple logical files out
there with different security. So if you have 100 branches you end up
with 100 LFs against that physical (or more if your keen on different
sorting criteria). Think: Design for growth.
