I'm 95% confident that with CCID validation enabled, you cannot bypass the
CCID file on a RETRIEVE with signout, even with an exit. I suppose someone
else in the Community or Broadcom Endevor Support might disagree.
I know you want to avoid arbitrary CCIDs in prod but my original thought
would still work; a CCID used for retrieval combined with exit7 to fail a
cast if that same CCID is specified on the move to prod. The Package exit
block field; PACT-ACTION-CCID, can be validated during cast. I have a
sample COBOL exit7 if you'd like.

Subject: RE: Signout without CCID on Retrieve.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your response. I think maybe my original post wasn't clear. We're trying to protect the prod environment using a ccid file. However; this means that developers can only perform 'RETRIEVE' actions with the 'NO SIGNOUT' option enabled. We'd like to know if there's a way to let developers RETRIEVE with signout, while avoiding making arbitrary ccids valid in prod.
Thanks,
Hunton
