I am trying to find out of a field on CICS screen can be made blank / hidden / secured using field attribute, so that the data cannot be extracted using a macros.

I have seen a DFHBMDAS field, though not appearing on CICS screen, can still be extracted using Getstring () command in an excel macro.

I came across DFHPROTN attribute which protects field, makes it non-printable, non-display-able etc.

Any thoughts?
