HD45355: EXPORTING TEXT FILE DOES NOT ADHERE TO PRIVILEGES OF SECURED M ETHOD

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DESCRIPTION:
  In the Product Editor there exists the Text icon,
  which is located under the Tools menu on the
  vertical toolbar.
  Customer wishes to implement a Secured method
  (VPMCheckingObjectSecuredMethod macro) which
  will check whether a user is granted or denied
  access to specified attribute data as defined by
  PnO privileges.
  A problem exists when the security checks cannot
  be implemented while using the Text export
  function because no user exit is available. This
  situation allows unauthorized roles to view secured
  data.
