I allocated a new password protected dataset , from 3.2 option.
Then i tried to use 'Protect' command.
after entering this command ,it prompts for new password and then....

I am getting an error
UNABLE TO PROTECT DATA SET 'XXX.AAA.YYY'
PASSWORD DATA SET NOT FOUND.

DO NOT play with password datasets, you are likely to get a very angry sysprog on your case.

If you do not want your colleagues looking at your secret JCL, use RACF or whatever security product you have in place.

What do you need / want to protect ?

If it is your own dataset then you can probably do it yourself, but if it is a development or production dataset then you will need to talk to your security admin people.

for your own

ADDSD 'dataset name' GENERIC UACC(NONE) OWNER(your uid)

And then to allow people to browse

PE 'dataset name' GENERIC ID(who ever) ACCESS(READ)
