PASSWORDS Before you can access a data base, you must specify your password. The password will not be echoed back to the screen after entering in session mode nor will it appear if QUERY is in job mode. The password you specify determines the access you have to the data items and data sets in the data base. If you are logged on as the data base creator and use the semicolon (;) password, you will have read and write access to all data items and data sets in the data base even. This is true even if no passwords are defined for the data base. In some cases, it is possible to gain access to some data without a password if the data base is designed to allow such access. Passwords are defined by the data base designer or administrator and control read and write access to information in a data base. You must ask the data base administrator for a password and enter it as described the Section 2. Note: In this manual, entering a password is illustrated with the password underlined. However, during an actual session the password will not appear on the terminal screen.
