Work with File Fields (WRKFILFLDS)

The Work with File Fields (WRKFILFLDS) command allows authorized users to work with fields in a file and the Field Encryption Registry.

The following users can use this command:

  • QSECOFR user profile (unless excluded in the Key Officer settings)
  • A user profile with *SECADM authority (unless excluded in the Key Officer settings)
  • A Key Officer whom has a *YES specified for the "Maintain Field Enc. Registry" authority setting

This command requires the user to have *CHANGE authority to the CRVL002 Validation List (*VLDL) object which contains the Field Encryption Registry.

NOTE: The WRKFILFLDE command only adds the field entry settings into the registry. It will not cause any action to be performed on the actual database field in the file. The field will not be activated for encryption until the ACTFLDENC (Activate Field Encryption) command is executed.
