CALC
AUTHORIZE can also designate the AutoSYNC administrator user ID, who can 
manage sync users without the need to have access to sensitive data controlled by the 
sync users.
ADMINistrator user-id
the user who is the AutoSYNC administrator. The administrator is the user who 
configures syncusers and controls who is authorized to schedule automatic file-set 
synchronization.
If this option is omitted, the AutoSYNC administrator is the current user ID.
The AUTHORIZE command sets the ownership and the PROGID attribute of the 
ASYSYNCP program. When a scheduled synchronization is performed, the 
ASYSYNCP process changes its access ID to the user ID who configured the 
synchronization. This operation succeeds only if the authorizer is (1) the Super ID, (2) 
the user’s group manager, or (3) the user itself; otherwise the synchronization is 
aborted.
The ownership of the SYNCUSER table is set to the authorizer or, if specified, to the 
administrator. This command also sets the write and purge security of the SYNCUSER 
table to the owner (“xOxO”). Adding and deleting AutoSYNC users is thereby restricted 
to the AutoSYNC administrator.
CALC
A 4-function calculator to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. 
Parentheses are supported; multiplication and division have precedence over addition 
and subtraction. CALC numeric operands are assumed to be decimal unless preceded 
by %, %h, or %b. An expression comprised of simple integers is performed using 
integer arithmetic. If any operand contains a decimal point, the expression is evaluated 
to four decimal places of accuracy.
