Issue/Introduction

Does CA Bundl provide a utility that would allow a client to list or report on the View Security File (VSF) records? 

Environment

Release:
Component: BUNDL

Resolution

CA Bundl provides a CC50J098 utility that allows clients to list/report on various VSAM file table records, however, the CC50J098 utility is specifically designed NOT to allow listing or printing of the Bundl defined VSF records. Bundl does not provide any utility that would allow a client or a user to list or report on the information contained in this file. It is CA's feeling that to do so would actually be a breech of security. 

 

We have suggested to other clients who need to have access to the VSF records, to access them through some type of VSAM file viewer such as IDCAMS, File-Aid, File-Master, etc... Or, perhaps create some type of in-house user program that can give them the information that they need.

 

Considering the above, you may find the following record layout for the VSF records useful.
