  • Program for resource security in a database management system
    Patent number: 8886564
    Abstract: An inventive method is presented for resource security in a database management system having a plurality of resources, the method comprising creating a macro and a corresponding data section definition (DSECT) defining security for each resource, assembling all of the DSECTs into a load module, processing the load module to obtain source code, and assembling the source code, such that changing the source code of one resource modifies the defined security of the resource and adding new source code to the source code adds a new resource having security to the plurality of resources. The processing step can comprise loading the load module, reading a DSECT having a total number of resources, and, for each resource of the total number of resources, reading a next DSECT, finding the defined security in the next DSECT, and obtaining the source code associated with the defined security.
