ALTER USER PROFILE Parameters

profile-name

Identifies the profile to be modified.

Profile-name must be a profile that has been defined in the user catalog with the CREATE USER PROFILE statement.

ATTRIBUTEs attribute-specification

Supplies one or more attributes of the profile.

An attribute is a keyword and an associated value for the keyword.

attribute-keyword =

Specifies the attribute keyword whose value is to be added, replaced, or removed.

An identifier of not more than eight characters can be used as an attribute keyword.

Note: Certain keywords have special significance to the CA IDMS runtime environment. For a list of these keywords and discussion of their meaning, see chapter "System Profiles" in the CA IDMS System Tasks and Operator Commands Guide.

&USER

Supplies the attribute value. It is a substitution parameter.

The value of &USER is equal to the user ID of the user on whose behalf the user profile is invoked.

&GROUP

Represents the current group. It is a substitution parameter. The value of &GROUP is equal to the name of the default group for the current user.

&SYSTEM

Supplies the attribute value. It is a substitution parameter.

The value of &SYSTEM is equal to the SYSTEM ID value for the current system in the SYSTEM statement of system generation, or 'BATCH' in the case of local mode execution.

prefix

Supplies a prefix for the value in the substitution parameter.

suffix

Supplies a suffix for the value in the substitution parameter.

attribute-value

Provides the value portion of the attribute specification.

Attribute-value may be at most 32 characters in length and must be enclosed in single quotation marks if it contains embedded blanks or special characters other than @, $, and #.

NULL

Removes the attribute from profile-name.

OVERRIDE

Specifies whether the user can modify the attribute specification with a DCUF SET PROFILE command.

YES allows the user to override the attribute specification. NO prevents the user from overriding the attribute specification.

If OVERRIDE is not specified and the attribute keyword already exists in the profile, the OVERRIDE value remains the same. If OVERRIDE is not specified and the attribute keyword does not exist in the profile, the OVERRIDE value defaults to YES.
