The dataset-inventory information is available using IDCAMS/DCOLLECT utility
and DFSORT/ICETOOL provides decoder-ring logic to analyze the DCOLLECT output
and report on DATACLAS usage (as well as other SMS-construct usage) within your

I think the main take-away is that in almost all cases its either software
bugs, poor security defaults that don’t force changes in credentials /
passwords, bad default configurations for ease of use which results in poor
configurations or perhaps malice in the form of allowing a breach.

Amen to that, Brother.
And complexity, which makes it hard to get everything right (and you only need
to get one or two things wrong to have a problem). That is what struck me

Hello everyone,
I have a curiousity question about Pervasive Encryption.
If we are already protecting resources with RACF, what additional benefit
do we get from Pervasive Encryption? I think it is a good idea, since

If it is truly the case that the new version of the module is not being
used, then clearly the old version is being found somewhere.

refreshed LLA, then these are the possibilities that come to mind

Hello Matt,
I am not sure about backups.
This is Pervasive Encryption.
So, again my understanding is that IF your RACFID can access the file, you
will read the data and it will be presented to you as unencrypted.
Now, if you write it to DASD and encryption is on for that device it will
be encrypted
The protective side of data security is only half technical. The other half is

There are some good presentations on SHARE about this. The point about
backups is that the backups are made of the encrypted file, by personnel
and software that do *not* have the access to the decryption key. That

Is the RB chain intact after an ABEND? If so, you can look at R15.

@Kirk, is the ABEND reason code somewhere in the TCB? I would do the search but
you can do it as well as I.
Is R0 = normal completion reason code "architected"? I don't recall that it is.
It is something of a convention, but is it an "MVS linkage"? If not, I
*suspect* the contents of R0 have va
Others have mentioned backups. The real value is in the right to *do* backups.
Your storage administrator may have access to the dataset, but not the
decryption key. So he can do backups, but he can't steal credit card numbers or
health information.

That certainly helps.

At ABEND, R15 contains the REASON. For a normal return, R15 contains the
return code, and R0 often contains a reason, but that is a weaker
convention. On a normal return, registers come back however the called
program sets them. However, a subtask returns to the system. Maybe you
could find the
