Commands operate on IDENTITY entries as if they are USER entries. The following special processing rules are in force for IDENTITY entries:
An IDENTITY statement can be present in a SKELETON entry.
A USER entry can be changed into an IDENTITY entry, or an IDENTITY entry (containing no BUILD statements) can be changed into a USER entry. The CHGENTRY command accomplishes this change as follows:
CHGENTRY entry [USER|IDENTITY]
BUILD statements are added to an IDENTITY entry whenever the ADDENTRY command creates a SUBCONFIG entry.
The removal of a SUBCONFIG entry by the DELENTRY command removes BUILD statements from an IDENTITY entry.
The EDIT, EDX, or REPENTRY commands cannot add or delete BUILD statements.
A BUILD statement within an IDENTITY entry can name a SUBCONFIG entry which does not exist.
A SUBCONFIG entry can exist without a BUILD statement naming it.
