Running MAKEUSER in Interactive Mode

In Interactive mode, MAKEUSER

  • Is run by using either CANDE or MARC

  • Restricts input data to the smaller value between

    • A maximum of 1,920 characters

    • The number of characters defined for the remote device MAXINPUT parameter

  • Assigns each input record a sequence number for output identification

    • Input records are split into 72-character lines.

    • All lines for a single input record are assigned the same sequence number.

  • Reads from and writes to the terminal

Running MAKEUSER from MARC

Run MAKEUSER from the MARC USERS screen to

  • Create usercodes.

  • Delete usercodes.

  • Modify and interrogate all usercode attributes for all users.

Your usercode must have either

  • SECADMIN status if security-administrator status is enabled on the system

  • Privileged user status

Privileged users can use the

  • USERS screen in MARC to

    • Add usercodes.

    • Modify usercodes.

    • Display usercodes.

    • Delete usercodes.

    • Clone usercodes.

  • MAINT screen in MARC to

    • List all the usercodes in the USERDATAFILE.

    • Install a different usercode file.

    • Optimize a frequently used usercode file.

    • Create and install a completely new usercode file.

To create a new usercode with or without privileged status without using MAKEUSER, enter MU on the Choice line of the MARC screen. This capability must be defined in the USERDATAFILE.

Running MAKEUSER from CANDE

Run MAKEUSER from CANDE to

  • Create usercodes.

  • Delete usercodes.

  • Modify and interrogate all usercode attributes for all users.

Your usercode must have either

  • SECADMIN status if security-administrator status is enabled on the system

  • Privileged user status

To run MAKEUSER from CANDE, perform the steps

  1. Enter RUN *SYSTEM/MAKEUSER ON <family name>.

    Replace <family name> with the name of the pack on which MAKEUSER resides.

  2. Enter $SET LIST.

    This entry causes MAKEUSER to return output to the user. If LIST is not set, MAKEUSER returns only brief information such as 

    << EXAMINED

  3. To end the MAKEUSER session, enter any of the following system commands:

    • END

    • BYE

    • QUIT

If you make any syntax errors during the MAKEUSER session, MAKEUSER

  • Stops making new changes to the USERDATAFILE

  • Continues to check the commands you enter for correct syntax

To continue altering the USERDATAFILE after a syntax error, either exit MAKEUSER and restart the program, or set the IGNORE option to TRUE.

Note: Setting IGNORE to TRUE might have unforeseen results.
