ADD PASSWORD 

Adds a password to the database.

Syntax 

     A[DD] PAS[SWORD] Password UserClass 

Parameters 

Password            is the new password.  Passwords are case sensitive
                    and are not upshifted like other schema names.
                    Therefore, an uppercase character is distinguished
                    from a lowercase character.  A password must be from
                    1 to 8 characters, excluding carriage returns,
                    slashes, semicolons, and blanks.

UserClass           is the user class number associated with the new
                    password.  A user class number from 1 to 63 must be
                    associated with one password in the database and must
                    be unique within the PASSWORD part of the schema.
                    This number is used to define data item and data set
                    security associated with the password.

Description 

Use this command to add a new password to the database.  Both the
Password and UserClass parameters are required.

Example 

     >add password MANAGER 20 

In this example, the new password "MANAGER" is added.  The user class
number 20 is associated with this new password and it, instead of the
password, is used in the data item and data set read and write class
lists to define data item and data set security.  Note that the user must
enter "MANAGER" exactly as it appears; "manager" or "Manager" are not
equivalent.

Before the addition, the PASSWORDS part of the schema looks like this:

     PASSWORDS:
       11 CREDIT    ;
       12 BUYER     ;
       13 SHIP-REC  ;
       14 CLERK     ;
       18 DO-ALL    ;   <---- password to be added after DO-ALL 

After the addition, the PASSWORDS part of the schema looks like this:

     PASSWORDS:
       11 CREDIT    ;
       12 BUYER     ;
       13 SHIP-REC  ;
       14 CLERK     ;
       18 DO-ALL    ;
       20 MANAGER   ;    <---- password added
