Securing Report/Update Parameter?

Greetings Dave,
You can write a rule based on that field. If it equals Update then deny access. I believe you need to write the rule on the form, but you may also be able to write the rule on the field itself as well. If you need further assistance let me know.

That's it!

I went to the UPDATE_OPTION field on that form in the Security Administrator. When looking into the "Unconditional Access" options for that field, you're offered all of the values ACDIJMNPRSV (the standard batch program options). These are the same values that control access to the entire batch token.

But, you can edit the custom rule and code a rule to lock access to that field. Here's a simple one that works:

if(form.UPDATE_OPTION=='N')
'ALL_ACCESS,'
else
'NO_ACCESS,'

Any attempt to change the option to Y and click the "Change" button results in a security violation (and the system nicely puts the cursor on that field). This is exactly what we were hoping to accomplish.

Thanks Matt!
