Specifies a 1–8 character password that verifies this application program’s authority to run. VTAM® compares the password to the one in the application program’s access method control block (ACB) when an OPEN macroinstruction is issued. If you do not code this operand, no password verification is done.
For TSO applications, you must use the same password for TCAS and for each TSO/VTAM user.
