SELECT SYSTEM Command

A system is a collection of application programs and the developers and users associated with it. A user can only display, edit, run, and so on, programs, panels, and reports in the current system. A system must be assigned to a user before he can select that system. (Defining a user and assigning systems is described in the Administration Guide.)

If the user is associated with only one system, that system becomes the active or “current system” upon sign on. If the user is authorized to use more than one system, the first system (alphabetically) is selected as the current system at sign on. To select another system as the current system at any time during the session, issue the following command.

Note: You can also include the SELECT SYSTEM command as part of a user's signon member.

This command has the following format:

              {sname} 
SELECT SYSTEM {sid  }
