Deleting Data Item Security 

To delete all security specifications from a data item, use the DELETE
ITEMSECURITY command.  This results in an absent list.  In this section,
the security of the data item STATE is changed in the ORDERS database.
Before making changes, the REVIEW ITEMS command output looks like this:

       Itm No. Item Name         Attrib  Security
       ------------------------------------------

       16      STATE             X2      (12,13,14/11)

     >

In the example below, all security specifications are deleted from the
data item STATE. The DBCPLUS program returns a message confirming
deletion of the security specifications.

     >delete itemsecurity state 
      Change of item security accepted.

     >

Refer to "DELETE ITEMSECURITY" in chapter 10, "DBChange Plus Commands,"
for a detailed description of the command syntax and parameters.

If you want to verify that the data item security is deleted, use the
REVIEW ITEMS command.  In the following example, you can see that all
security specifications are deleted from the data item STATE, resulting
in an absent list.

     >review items STATE 

     REVIEW ITEMS:

       Itm No. Item Name         Attrib  Security
       ------------------------------------------

       16      STATE             X2                <---- * 

     >

     *All security specifications have been deleted from the data item STATE.  


NOTE Deleting all security specifications from a data item means that all users can read the data item. This is the default security assigned by DBSCHEMA when processing a data item without security specifications.
