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
