Thanks Rob
Ive had a cursory look, and it does look promising
Just need time to delve into it, to a deeper level

Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Securing one particular field within a file
I think I would study RCAC or Row and Column Access Control. I believe it came out in 7.2
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_72/rzahf/rzahfrcactitle.htm
Now, before this, one would give access to the PF only through the object, like *OBJOPR. No data authority. Then they would use LF's to access it and they would only use a subset of the data.

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
My question is:-
Is there a way to secure a field in a file so that no one can update/change it?
I realize that there needs to be a way to actually update/change the value- but that will need to require a password (or something), so that it CAN be updated/changed
I tried a google search, but nothing of any relevance was displayed
As always - all responses gratefully accepted
