Remove Field Encryption Entry (RMVFLDENC)

The RMVFLDENC command allows authorized users to remove an *INACTIVE field entry from the Encryption Registry. 

NOTE: The RMVFLDENC command will only remove the field entry from the Encryption Registry.  It will not cause any action to be performed on the actual database field in the file.

The following users can use the RMVFLDENC 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 that has a *YES specified for the “Maintain Field Enc. Registry” authority setting

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


Do the following steps to remove a field entry from the Encryption Registry:

  1. Prompt (F4) the command CRYPTO/RMVFLDENC.
  2. Enter the Field identifier to remove, then press Enter.
