Default setting for "No replace" mode

madprasy · New User Joined: 08 Apr 2008 Posts: 34 Location: Chennai

Is there a way we can setup a PDS, which will prevent itself from a member being replaced when someone else copies from external location to it?

Example:

PDS name : MY.IBMFORUM.TEST.PDS
member name : MY.IBMFORUM.TEST.PDS(TEST111)

Now, if I try to copy MY.EXTERNAL.PDS(TEST111) to MY.IBMFORUM.TEST.PDS, this action should be prevented/declined..

Could someone please help me on this..

the request does not make any sense....
what difference does it make for the member content the data origin?

a) edit the member and save the
b) replace the member content with the content of something else.

the result will always be that the member content has been changed

Hello and welcome to the forum,

If you don't want "others" to be able to write members in this pds, have the dataset protected by system security.

Hi,

Also ensure that the replace like members in copy entry panel is not selected for by all in your team

The scenario sounds like source/version control.

There is a very simple way: RACF!
