ARP/AWP/AXP Define password for PLAM library element access

Note: A prerequisite for defining READ/WRITE/EXEC passwords for PLAM library elements as described below is that LMS must be Version 2.0 or higher, and BS2000 must be Version 10.0 or higher.

ARP | AWP | AXP A mask will be displayed in which the user can enter a one to four byte Read, Write or Exec password for the respective data object (file/library element). The format is [C]'...' or X'...'.

Since passwords for library elements are stored in encrypted form, once stored, they cannot later be determined, neither by the system administrator, nor by the owner of the library. If the password is no longer known, the only solution is for the owner of the library to remove it, and specify a new password.

ARPN | AWPN | AXPN The owner, i.e. a user logged on to the userid under which the library is cataloged, can remove an existing Read, Write or Execute password for a library element. The existing password does not first have to be known. If this Action Code is to be performed on a file, the necessary password(s) must first have been entered with the PASSWORD command.
