I would suggest that you look at VeSoft's Security/3000.  STREAMX is a
program that can perform some tricks with your job streams.  One of the
tricks is to insert the lockword for a given file or program.  Here is the
syntax of the run statement.

        RUN ?$LOCKWORD=MYPROG$?

This tells STREAMX to place the fully qualified filename with the lockword
(MYPROG/LOCKWORD.MYGRP.MYACCT).

Later and get EXTREME

Subject: Lockwords in Jobstreams

Hey ya'all,

If ya don't have a fancy job scheduler, like Maestro, or such. What is
the best way to hide a lockword in a job stream. I'm not talking about
logon passwords, I use the PASSEXEMPT option of the JOBSECURITY command
for that. I'm talking about file lockwords.

One approach that I have used in the past is to say:

Setvar keycode chr(%115) + chr(%66) + chr(%60) + chr(%60) + chr(%71) +
chr(%61) + chr(%67)

Then

RUN MYPROG/keycode.GRP.ACCT

Which seems to be a little more secure then just:

RUN MYPROG/M600917.GRP.ACCT


Any other options?
