Example 2: Authorizing Users to Administer a Group

An administrator wants to authorize all of the user administrators in the company's sales department to administer a user group named SALESGRP. All of the sales department administrators have user IDs that begin with SALESAD, so the administrator uses the following control statements:

EXTRACT GIVING(SALESEMP) USER AND NO SESSIONS (UIDXNAME(SALESAD-)) 
ADD USERMAGN USING(SALESEMP) (SALESGRP)

The EXTRACT statement produces the extract file named SALESADS, which contains the merged user definition for each user whose user ID begins with SALESAD. The ADD statement authorizes these users to administer the users in the group named SALESGRP.
