Setting Up a NGEN28TP/USERS File

To set up a NGEN28TP/USERS file, perform the following procedure:

  1. Create the NGEN28TP/USERS file with the following characteristics:

    • Flat Sequential file

    • Under TPS usercode

    • On pack family for TPS

  2. If TPS is running under the asterisk (*) usercode on DISK, check that this file has a SECURITY attribute of PUBLIC IN.

  3. In this file, define up to 100 user name and checkword pairs, one pair per line, using the following syntax:

    USERNAME username CHECKWORD; checkword [CONTROL;].
    • The username and checkword values have 1 through 10 characters each.

    • USERNAME can be abbreviated as USER or U.

    • CHECKWORD can be abbreviated as CHECK, CW, or C.

    • Including CONTROL enables access to all TPS commands. CONTROL can be abbreviated as CNTL.

  4. In TPS, use the LOADUSERS command to load NGEN28TP/USERS file to implement access checking for new users signing on to TPS. Alternatively, the new NGEN28TP/USERS file will be automatically loaded when TPS next initializes.

Example 1

USER; RATES  CHECKWORD JAMES
U; FINANCE   CW; GRAHAM CNTL;
USERNAME; FINANCE C; JUNE CONTROL
USER; LIBRARY CHECK; MARY
