Compiler-Directive Statements › SIGNON Statement › Parameters

Parameters

USEr name is user-id

Specifies the ID of the user signing on to the compiler. If the SECURITY clause of the dictionary (DDDL) SET OPTIONS statement specifies that security for IDMS is on, user-id must be the ID of a user authorized (in the DDDL USER clause) for schema or subschema compiler access. User-id must be a 1- to 32-character value and must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains embedded blanks or delimiters.

PASsword is password

Specifies the password of the user signing on to the compiler.

DICtionary name is dictionary-name

Specifies the dictionary to be accessed by the compiler. If dictionary-name is blanks enclosed by quotes, it indicates the default dictionary for the local mode runtime environment or the target node if running under the central version.

NODe name is nodename

Specifies the name of the node that controls the dictionary to be accessed. Nodename identifies a node in the network. If nodename is blanks enclosed in quotes, it indicates the local node (the node at which the online compiler is executing or the DC/UCF system accessed by the batch compiler running under the central version).

USAge mode is

Specifies the manner in which the compiler can access dictionary areas. This clause overrides the usage mode defined during system generation by means of the IDD statement (see the CA IDMS System Generation Guide).

UPDate

Specifies that the current user and all other users can update the dictionary concurrently. The compiler automatically prevents deadlock conditions or situations in which users must wait for commands issued by other users to be processed. This is the default, unless overridden during system generation.

PROtected UPDate

Specifies that only the current user can update the dictionary. Other users are restricted to performing retrieval operations. During an online session, the current user has exclusive control for update only if the DDDL compiler has been invoked. Between terminal interactions, the areas can be updated by other users.

RETrieval

Specifies that the current user can only perform retrieval operations against the dictionary. This usage mode does not restrict other users from accessing the dictionary in update or protected update mode.

for ALL

Indicates that the usage mode applies to all areas. ALL is the default.

for DDLDML

Indicates that the usage mode applies only to the DDLDML area.

for DDLDCLOD

Indicates that the usage mode applies only to the DDLDCLOD area.

for DDLDCMSG

Indicates that the usage mode applies only to the DDLDCMSG area.
