John,

> One weakness of MPE is that unless you have a password insertion utility, such as STREAMX, passwords for jobs must either be typed in when streaming, which precludes many job scheduling methods, or they must be hard-coded in the jobs.

You may want to look into using the :JOBSECURITY ;PASSEXEMPT option.

Combined with ALTSEC ;NEWACD this gives quite some flexibility for
defining who may stream a job without need for embedded passwords.

Lars.
