MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual Volume I

CHGROUP 

Switches you from the current group to another group within the logon
account to which you are allowed access.  (Native Mode)

Syntax 

CHGROUP [[groupname][/grouppass]]


NOTE  This command follows the optional MPE/iX command line syntax.
      Refer to "Optional Format for MPE/iX Commands" at the begiinning of
      this chapter.


Parameters 

groupname             The name of the group to which the user is
                      switched.  If the parameter is omitted, the user is
                      switched to the home group.

grouppass             The password of the group to which you intend to
                      switch, if it has a password.  In a session, if the
                      target group has a password and you fail to supply
                      one, MPE/iX prompts you to enter one.  If you
                      supply the wrong password on the first try, MPE/iX
                      prompts you two more times for the password before
                      the command fails.  In a batch job, if the target
                      group has a password and you fail to supply one,
                      MPE/iX does not prompt for one but issues the error
                      message INCORRECT PASSWORD (CIERR 1441), and the
                      job fails.  In either a session or a job when you
                      switch to your home group, the password is not
                      needed.

Operation Notes 

This command changes the user's current group to groupname.  The entire
command interpreter environment is preserved (temporary files, file
equations, cataloged UDCs, and variables).  The user must know the
password, if any, for groupname.  In a session, if a password is
associated with groupname, and the user fails to supply a grouppass, the
system prompts the user to enter one.  In a job, if a password is
associated with groupname, and the user fails to supply a grouppass, the
error message INCORRECT PASSWORD (CIERR 1441) is issued and the job
fails.

The CHGROUP and CHDIR commands both change their process' CWD. However,
CHDIR does not post any accounting information, and CHGROUP affects the
CWD of every process in the job/session structure.  Connect and CPU times
are still accounted to the user's logon account and logon group.

Use 

This command is available in a session or a job, but not in BREAK or from
a program.  Pressing Break has no effect on this command.

Examples 

To switch the user from the current group to the group called GORODA,
enter:

     CHGROUP GORODA 

To switch the user from the current group to the group called GORODA,
with the assigned password MUSASHI, enter:
