You might look for row and column access control (RCAC.) Here's a youtube on it -

and a redpaper -

https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp5110.pdf

It's been around since 7.2.

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
My question is:-
Is there a way to secure a field in a file so that no one can update/change it?
I realize that there needs to be a way to actually update/change the
value- but that will need to require a password (or something), so
that it CAN be updated/changed

I tried a google search, but nothing of any relevance was displayed

As always - all responses gratefully accepted
