DBchange/CM Reflects Consistency Across Data Management Tools by Peg Ray/Mark Boronkay Data Management Systems Divison Several changes have been incorporated into DBchange/CM (B.00.15) that bring DBchange/CM in line with DBSCHEMA.PUB.SYS processing, and also increase the usability of DBchange/CM. The following describes these changes. ADD SET/ADD ITEM All new items and sets added with DBchange/CM with no explicitly defined security will follow the same default security that is currently used in DBSCHEMA.PUB.SYS. This default security assures that all user classes will have read access to the new item or new set while only the database creator will have write access. This default security is equivalent to the default security when using a null or absent list in DBSCHEMA.PUB.SYS REVIEW SECURITY/CHANGE SECURITY The Review Security/Change Security function will still display "R" (for read access) for all 64 user classes when an item has been defined with default security. The change occurs when the user attempts to modify security. Previously, the user would press the Change Security key and receive an error message indicating the user class is undefined (if any of the 64 user classes ARE NOT defined). This error message will no longer be displayed. That is, a user class may be granted Read or Write access to a data item or set regardless of whether the user class has been defined. Again, this is consistent with DBSCHEMA.PUB.SYS. DELETE PASSWORD The Delete Password function has been modified to separate the task of deleting a user class from the task of modifying item or set security read/write class lists. When a password is deleted from a user class, the read/write class lists will remain unchanged.
