Record the ACID and Password

A started task may be of such sensitivity that starting the task should record the ACID and PASSWORD of the operator who entered the command. For example, database regions which govern access to sensitive data:

TSS ADD(STC) PROCNAME(IMSPAY)
             ACID(PAYRGN)
             STCACT

With PAYRGN defined:

TSS CREATE(PAYRGN) TYPE(USER)
                   NAME('DUMPSMF ACID')
                   DEPARTMENT(PAYDEPT)
                   PASSWORD(passwd,0)
                   FACILITY(STC,IMSPROD)

When an operator enters the console command START IMSPAY the message TSS7152A prompts for the operator's ACID and password. When a valid identification is given TSS7150A prompts for the PAYRGN password, which the definition associates with the started task.
