Hi to all,
I want to ask something on IBM-MAIN before I lodge a formal request for DFSORT
gurus attention:
It is part of my work to produce many audit reports using DFSORT, ICETOOL,
custom REXX, COBOL, Assembler programs.
Normally, while supported, we don't modify columns in DFSORT/ICETOOL, something
like this:
INCLUDE COND=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'0200',AND,118,10,CH,GE,C'2015-01-01')
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,9,10:10,3,CHANGE=(3,C'ABC',C'CBA'), ... etc ...
or
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(96,1,CH,EQ,C'S'),OVERLAY=(97:C'ABCDEFGH')),
But, I have a need to translate the cryptic columns into something readable.

Question:
Is there any need to control the modifying of input/output by DFSORT/ICETOOL
with RACF?
Something like that STGADMIN.?? profiles in FACILITY class to control usage of
ADMINISTRATOR keyword in DFDSS?
I don't think those auditors will like to see (and not survive) those ability
to modify records.
Of course I could rerun my jobs from original SMF just to prove these records
are not modified anywhere.
Thanks in advance!
Groete / Greetings

[1] - My auditors already accept that I use a REXX program to translate
something like 'INVPSWD ' by 'Not a valid password' or 'FPROTALL' by 'Failed by
PROTECTALL'.
