PASSTYPE — Password protection type

For all processing of non-VSAM data sets, and reporting on VSAM components with "SCAN REALVOLS, REPORT COMPONENTS", the value of PASSWORD is set to READ or WRITE depending on the values of the DS1IND10 and DS1IND04 bits in the Format-1 DSCB for each data set or component.

Note: Passwords are not supported on DFSMS-controlled volumes.

For all other processing of VSAM clusters, the value of PASSWORD is set to READ, WRITE, CINV or MSTR depending on the value of the password field PASSWALL in each cluster's catalog entry.

The second operand in a PASSTYPE comparison can be:

READ

Read password required

WRITE

Write password required

CINV

Control interval password (VSAM only)

MSTR

Master level password required (VSAM only)

For example, to select all write-password-protected data sets, use:

SELECT CRITERIA=(PASSTYPE,EQ,WRITE)

Greater than and less than type comparisons can also be made, based upon read-level password authority being less than write, write less than control interval, and control interval less than master. For example, to select all data sets with write, control interval, or master level password protection, use:

SELECT CRITERIA=(PASSTYPE,GE,WRITE)
