RELEASE
This command removes security provisions from a file. Security does not
resume for a released file until you enter the SECURE command for the
file.
Syntax
RELEASE filereference
Parameters
filereference Specifies the actual file designator of the file
whose file access matrix access control you want to
disable. The filereference can be either in MPE or
HFS syntax.
MPE Syntax
If the filereference does not begin with a dot or a
slash, it is parsed according to the MPE syntax and
has the form:
filename[/lockword][.groupname[.acctname]]
If the file has a lockword, you must specify it;
otherwise, the system prompts you for it. If you
do not specify groupname.acctname, the system
assumes the logon group and account.
HFS Syntax
If the filename begins with a dot (.) or a slash
(/), it is parsed according to HFS syntax.
Operation Notes
* Usage
You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in
break mode. Pressing Break does not affect this command.
You can use this command only for permanent disk files you have
created. Under default system security provisions, the file must
be in your logon account and must belong to your logon or home
group.
* Checking the file status
You can enter the LISTFILE command to determine if a file is
currently released or secured. Refer to the LISTFILE command for
more information.
* Access control definition
An access control definition (ACD) overrides file access controls
whether or not you have released or secured the file.
For more information about ACDs, refer to the ALTSEC command in
this manual.
* Unaffected access controls
This command does not affect the following access controls:
Privileged files You cannot release privileged files.
Lockwords You cannot override lockwords.
ACDs This command does not affect the security on
files with access control definitions.
However, if you remove the ACD, the file is
released. Refer to the ALTSEC command in this
book for more information about ACDs.
Example
* To release all security provisions for a file named FILE1 in your
logon group and account, enter:
:RELEASE FILE1
If the system fails to locate the file, the following error
message appears:
UNABLE TO ACCESS FILE1.GROUP1.ACCT1. (CIERR 356)
