Command Definitions S-SO
SECURE
SECURE
Reinstates all file security provisions that you previously suspended with the RELEASE
command.
Syntax
SECURE filereference
Parameters
filereference Specifies the actual file designator for which you want to reinstate file
access control. The filereference can be either in MPE or HFS syntax.
MPE Syntax
If the filereference does not begin with a dot or a slash, it is parsed
according to the MPE syntax and has the form:
filename[/lockword][.groupname[.acctname]]
If the file has a lockword, you must specify it; otherwise, the system
prompts you for it. If you do not specify groupname.acctname, the system
assumes the logon group and account.
HFS Syntax
If the filename begins with a dot (.) or a slash (/), it is parsed according to
HFS syntax.
Operation Notes
• Usage
You can use this command only for permanent disk files you created. Under default
system security provisions, the file must be in your logon account and must belong to
your logon or home group.
• Checking the file status
You can enter the LISTFILE command to determine if a file is currently released or
secured. Refer to the LISTFILE command in this book for more information.
• Access control definition
An access control definition (ACD) overrides file access controls whether or not you have
released or secured the file.
Use
You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in break mode. Pressing
Break does not affect this command.
