CFS Command - Lock screen - LOCK

LOCK [passw] The screen under which CFS is running is locked.

In response to the LOCK command, a mask (LOCK mask) is displayed containing a dark, eight digit entry field. To terminate the Lock status (Unlock), the user needs to enter the valid password in the entry field of the Lock mask.

In the LOCK state no functions of CFS are available; it is also not possible to interrupt the CFS basic task to enter BS2000 commands by pressing K2 .

passw Password to unlock the screen.

Any one to eight character alphanumeric string.

Notes:

When defining a LOCK password, see in addition the SPL (Set Password for Lock) command on page 18-.

If no password is specified in the LOCK command, then the last password set in a previous LOCK command, or in an SPL (Set Password for Lock) command, is valid.

If CFS is reloaded from a connection, then it should be noted that the lock function is only operable for the CFS loaded in the connection.

Data security: The LOCK command supports data security for every user: users can leave their screens unattended, with nobody else being able to use CFS, or to look at the opened connections, or the previous commands in the command memory.

The screen area from the third line of the LOCK mask is overwriteable. It can be used to leave a message for colleagues, such as "In a meeting until 16:00 (Room C1/223)".

This message will not be erased if a data transmission key is pressed accidentally.
