PURPOSE: The user can be identified as being authorized to access a secured Data Base Library (DBL) or a secured DBL object with the PERMIT PASSWORD command.
The maximum number of passwords for DBL’s and individual objects that can be entered with the PERMIT PASSWORD command is 32. ACCENT R maintains a table of passwords that has 32 entries. When entering the 33rd password, the oldest entry in the table is overwritten.
When a user enters the USE DBL command, the previously-declared DBA passwords are automatically cleared and DBL security privileges are set up for the new DBL. If the new DBL has been assigned security and the DBL password has been entered, then immediate access is available.
