Field Descriptions 

Developer Name.  Enter the name used to identify the application
developer.  A developer name must start with an alphabetic character, and
can have up to eight characters.  The name can use alphabetic characters,
0 to 9, and _ (underscore).  The name must be unique within the
developer, end user, and user group set.  You cannot enter the name
developr  in this field.

HP ALLBASE/4GL is case sensitive with respect to user names.


NOTE  The name administ is reserved for the system administrator.  In the
      development administration environment for HP ALLBASE/4GL, you can
      use this screen to set the password for the user administ.


Current Password.  This field is only active if you have already defined
a password for the developer.

If you want to change an existing password for a developer, enter the
current password in this field.

New Password.  Optional.  Enter the password you wish to allocate to the
developer.

Passwords can have up to eight characters and must start with an
alphabetic character.  Passwords can use alphabetic characters, 0 to 9,
and _ (underscore).  HP ALLBASE/4GL is case sensitive with respect to
passwords.

HP ALLBASE/4GL does not echo that password to the screen as you type it
in.

Repeat New Password.  Reenter the new password for the developer.  If you
don't reenter exactly the same password, HP ALLBASE/4GL generates an
error message and returns the cursor to the New Password field.

Description.  These are documentation fields.  Enter a description of the
developer.  HP ALLBASE/4GL automatically records the time and date of the
last modification.

Additional Information 

HP ALLBASE/4GL stores developer names, end user names, and user group
names in a common internal table.  This table can accommodate up to 254
names.  All entries in the table must be unique.

Administrator Passwords.     

HP ALLBASE/4GL considers the system administrator to be a special case
developer user.  Consequently, you can use this screen to set your
password, or change your password.

To set a password for the sign-on name administ, enter the name administ
in the Developer Name field.  You can now define a password by entering
it in the New Password and Repeat New Password fields in the same way as
you would enter a password for any other developer user.


CAUTION  If you define a password for the HP ALLBASE/4GL system
         administrator, make sure that you keep a copy of the password in
         a safe place.  If you forget the password, you will not be able
         to access the HP ALLBASE/4GL system.
