SECURE

This command 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 enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in break mode. Pressing Break does not affect this command.
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.

Example

To reinstate file access control previously in effect for the file named FILE1, enter:
:SECURE FILE1
