MDISK User Exit

Important! The MDISK user exit is called only in the absence of the MINIDISK user exit. The MINIDISK user exit is the preferred user exit for this interface.

Use the MDISK user exit to accept or reject changes made to a minidisk link mode and passwords.

MDISK userid owner [linkmode [readpwd [writepwd [multpwd]]]]

Definitions

userid: Specifies the user ID requesting the link mode or password change.
owner: Specifies the user ID that owns the minidisk being changed.
linkmode: Specifies the mode with which the minidisk will be linked.
readpwd: Specifies the read password for the minidisk.
