Row and Column controls are additional security in the IBM i Db2 that let you limit access to specific fields in a database to specific users and also to limit access to certain records to certain users. DSPFD tells me nothing. RCAC is all built by running SQL statements and there is no "native" CL that you can use to set it up.

I have a database file that was built with DDS. Both Row and Column controls have been implemented.



What exactly are row and column controls in this context?



Now I would like to see what those controls are. I understand that they are stored in the *FILE object, but is there a way to see what is already configured if I don't have access to the SQL that was used to create them?



Uhm. Above you said, you've used DDS to create the PF. This is confusing.



Ideally, I'd really like to access this information programmatically.



Please try dspfd output(*outfile). This should contain a lot of information regarding a PF, no matter if SQL or DDS.

:wq! PoC
