READONLY for a set of file numbers

I need to restrict a set of files in an Adabas database under Windows. Is there an equivalent to the mainframe’s
ADADBS MODFCB FILE=xxx,FILEREADONLY=YES

Have a look at ADARBA, the easiest way is enabling role-based security and restricting the files in question to read-only for the PUBLIC role.

The documentation is a little difficult to navigate, but eventually I was able to secure a test database with a set of users, roles, and file restrictions. Then I was informed by SAG Support that RBAC is not supported by Natural, so I’ll be shelving this project for a while.

Ralph - while Natural doesn’t support RBAC right now, Adabas User Exit 21 might allow you to use it for the subset of functionality that you are looking for to limit some files to read-only access.
