| Description |
creates a new master dictionary, copies all the necessary items into it, and updates the SYSTEM file with the name and address.
May be executed only from the SYSPROG account. The following prompts appear: ACCOUNT NAME? Enter the name of the new account. It must not already exist in the SYSTEM file. If you are unsure whether or not it already exists, end this procedure and issue the command: SORT ONLY SYSTEM<return>. L/RET CODES? This is for the retrieval code(s) for read-access to files. Typically left null. L/UPD CODES? This is for the update code(s) for write-protection to files. Typically left null. PASSWORD? The optional (account) logon password. See also the (TCL) "password (R83)" command to change or remove passwords. PRIVILEGES? This is the system privilege level. It must be either SYS0 (lowest), SYS1, or SYS2 (highest). As of release 2.2, SYS0 is now the default. MOD,SEP? This is for entry of the modulo and separation for the new account md. If omitted, this defaults to 29 for modulo and 1 for separation. After answering this last prompt, the process copies all of the items from the "NEWAC" file into the new md. The account is now ready for use. |
