Yes, you can encrypt data in JISAM files, as long as you don't need to read them with ODBC or JDBC.
Simply add "with encryption" in your select statement.
The encryption key is set in the configuration file with the variable:

   iscobol.file.encryption.key=<1 to 16 character string>

isCOBOl uses the Blowfish algorithm to encrypt data.
Read more about encrypted files in our SDK User's Guide under "Files Management".

If you need to encrypt data to access with ODBC or JDBC, we suggest you use c-treeRTG.
