CHGROUP 

The CHGROUP command enables you to switch from your current group to
another group within your logon account. 

Syntax 

CHGROUP [groupname[/grouppass]]

Parameters 

groupname             Specifies the name of the group that you want to
                      switch to.  If you omit this parameter, you switch
                      to the home group.

grouppass             Specifies the password of the group that you want
                      to switch to, if the group has a password.  If you
                      want to switch to your home group, you do not need
                      to provide a password.

Operation Notes 

   *   Usage 

       You can enter this command from a session or a job, but not from a
       program or in break mode.  Pressing Break does not affect this
       command.

   *   Command interpreter preservation 

       This command preserves the entire command interpreter environment
       (temporary files, file equations, and variables).

   *   Password requirements 

       In a batch job, you must supply a password if a password is
       assigned to groupname; otherwise, the job fails and the error
       message INCORRECT PASSWORD appears.  Similarly, during a session,
       you must supply a password if a password is assigned to groupname;
       otherwise, the system prompts you for a password.

Examples 

   *   To switch from the current group to your home group, enter:

            :CHGROUP 

   *   To switch from the current group to the group called GROUP2,
       enter:

            :CHGROUP GROUP2 

   *   To switch from the current group to the group called GROUP2 with
       the assigned password SECRET, enter:

            :CHGROUP GROUP2/SECRET
