PRT: Protection Group

The fields in this group describe how the alternate index, cluster, data component, index component, or path defined by the entry is password-protected or RACF® protected. NULL or SUPPRESSED might be listed under password protection and YES or NO might be listed under RACF protection.

NULL indicates that the object defined by the entry has no passwords.

SUPP indicates that the master password of neither the catalog nor the entry was specified, so authority to list protection information is not granted.

RACF—Indicates if the entry is protected by the Resource Access Control Facility.

YES—Entry is RACF protected.
NO—Entry is not RACF protected.

ATTEMPTS—Gives the number of times the console operator is allowed to try to enter a correct password.

CODE—Gives the code used to tell the console operator which alternate index, catalog, cluster, path, data component, or index component requires a password to be entered. NULL is listed under CODE if a code is not used—the object requiring the password is identified with its full name.

CONTROLPW—The control interval password (that is, the password for control interval access). NULL indicates no control interval password.

MASTERPW—The master password.

READPW—The read-only password. NULL indicates no read-only password.

UPDATEPW—The update password. NULL indicates no update password.

USAR—The contents (1-to-255 bytes, in character format) of the USAR (user-security-authorization record). This is the information specified in the string subparameter of the AUTH subparameter of the DEFINE command.

USVR—The name of the USVR (user-security-verification routine) that is to be invoked to verify authorization of any access to the entry.
