How to block access to the code with a password

[MikeT_]

Hi,

is there a way to block access to the code (scl or af) ?

People can run the program but the code will be display if there provide the right password.

Thanks!

Suggest you check out the CATALOG procedure and the COPY statement that allows you to create a copy of your BUILD catalog. With the NOSOURCE and NOEDIT options you can create a copy that doesn't contain SCL source and won't allow editing but will still contain your compiled code.

Hi SASKiwi,

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried and it works!

Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Mike.

If you use this method be sure to have a backup of your scl source. You don't want to come back later and find a catalog that contains objects that have been compiled with nosource, and that is the only copy you have!
