Example 1: Modifying User Variables

An administrator wants to make sure that all users have a stage 1 time out of 60 minutes. The administrator uses the following control statements:

EXTRACT GIVING(ALLUSERS) USER AND NO SESSIONS (UIDXNAME(--------))
UPDATE USING(ALLUSERS) (UIDXTOU1(60) UIDXTOP1(L))

The EXTRACT statement uses a masked value to produce an extract file that contains the merged user definitions for all users. For each record in the extract file, the UPDATE statement modifies the administration database so that the value of the time out and option fields have the specified values for all users.
