ILE compile commands like CRTBNDRPGLE Parameter DBGENCKEY should protect all views

As of today DBGENCKEY only protects the debugging views that are embedded into the module by encrypting them. For maximum security DBGENCKEY should protect all available views, by requesting the key for the non embedded views like *SOURCE and *COPY as well.


Use Case:

Software Providers may need to compile and distribute their programs with debugging enabled in order to be able to debug on the target system.
Usually unauthorized users should not be able to source debug these modules, which is not prevented for the non embedded views.

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.

    I mean:
    if *source is used as debugview and the Sourcecode is available:
    Status:
    the source-code of the main Routine is visible. There is no difference if a key is entered or not.
    Target:
    the source-code of the main Routine should onnly be visible, if a valid key is entered

    Testprogram is created under v7r3m0 for v7r1m0

    "Now the root source file location was embedded in the debug data, when users dump the module or program with debug data, they might see the root source location. When you mean to encrypt the root source view, do you mean to encrypt the root source location embedded in the module or program? Thanks a lot! "

    Thanks a lot!
