A Y in the is flag Disable end user file level security indicates that run time file level security checking should be suppressed. Any other value indicates that run time file security checking should be performed as normal.
Setting this flag to Y may be appropriate for users that use other/external menu systems to control/secure access to LANSA processes - and/or use the philosophy "if the program appears on your menu, then you should be able to access the files that the program requires".
Minor to moderate performance improvements can be expected by setting this flag to "Y", especially in *DBOPTIMIZE functions.
This flag is interpreted dynamically.
Normal, that is, non-*DBOPTIMIZE functions do not need to be recompiled to react to this new flag.
The setting of this flag has no effect on development activities involving the file definitions. They are still subject to normal security checking.
This data area flag is changed on the 6.2.5 Execution and Security Settings,
