Hi,
How do I know the access rights (for example, N = None / R = Read / U = Update / C = Control / A = Alter) I have got for on a dataset? Specially with out trying to open the dataset by any means.
Thanks,

The BEST way to find out is to talk to your site security group -- they can find out what you want to know.
Without talking to your site security group, in general most sites do not provide the tools to applications programmers that would allow them to determine what you asked. And determining access to a particular data set can be complex since RACF supports generic profiles, so the question cannot be resolved by merely looking in the RACF data base for the data set name.
