Mike, Thanks. Yes, I am aware of that. This is for a demonstration in a class. Showing the encrypted data is far more convincing than a single bit. 😊. Lennie
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mike Shaw Sent: 11 October 2024 10:50 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: File Manager and viewing tracks Lennie, There is a bit in the format 1 DSCB for each data set on a volume (DS1ENCRP) that is ON if that data set is encrypted. You can interrogate that bit to see if the corresponding data set is encrypted without opening the data set. Using that bit, we report on the encryption status of each data set on a volume in our DASD DSLIST report. Mike Shaw MVS/QuickRef Support Group Chicago-Soft, Ltd.
