Following is a brief explanation of the fields on the screen.

Rulekey

Specifies the key value of the rule set.The rulekey you specify can be up to eight characters long. You cannot mask this field.

Prefix

Indicates a value used as the minidisk ID for CMS files (instead of the rule ID). You can enter up to 24 characters and specify multiple levels in this control statement (TLCAMS.V0191). If you specify $PREFIX(), the prefix is the same as the $KEY entry and the $PREFIX control statement is not generated when the rule is decompiled. CA ACF2 for VM logonid issues a warning message indicating that the $PREFIX is null and ignored (optional).

Owner

Specifies the ID of the owner of this rule set. This control statement is for information only. No CA ACF2 for VM logonid processing is based on this parameter. This control statement does not grant the owner any special privileges for the rule set. You can enter the logonid, UID, name of the owner, or other values (up to 24 characters) for local tracking purposes. These values are displayed when the rule set is decompiled (optional).

Resowner

Specifies the resource owner of the data set. CA ACF2 for VM logonid DFSMS support uses this information. CA ACF2 for VM does not use it. For more information, see the Administrator Guide.

Mode

Specifies the value of the mode for the rule set. Valid options are QUIET (the access is not checked), LOG (violations are allowed but logged), WARN (violators are warned, but the violation access is allowed), and ABORT (violations are not allowed).

Userdata

Use this space for any comments you care to enter. These comments do not affect the rule entry. This field can contain up to 64 characters. Unlike comment statements that are removed when compiled, information placed in this field is stored with the rule set (optional).

Sort Option

Specifies how CA ACF2 for VM logonid sorts this rule set. If you enter 1 or Y in this field, CA ACF2 for VM logonid does not sort the rule set from most specific to most general. This field does not appear if sort option is not active at your site.

Total rule entries

Specifies the number of rule entries currently in the rule.
