Adding data to a custom field

You can now add data to the CSDATA segment of user and group profiles by using the ISPF panels or by specifying a custom field name as the command operand for the following commands:

For user profiles, issue the ADDUSER and ALTUSER commands.
For group profiles, issue the ADDGROUP and ALTGROUP commands.

Guidelines:

Use the ISPF panels to enter data for custom fields, rather than issuing the RACF® commands. When you use the ISPF panels, the custom fields are listed and you can simply select them to add, update or delete data for them.
If you delegate authority for adding data to custom fields (using Steps for authorizing users to update data in a custom field), provide customized instructions to delegated users about the data requirements for your installation's custom fields.

Restriction: The amount of data that can be stored in the CSDATA segment of a user or group profile is limited to 65535 bytes.
