SECCALL CHANGE The SECCALL CHANGE verb allows you to change the password of the user ID and,
optionally, some user information.
SECCALL CHANGE [ MDO= mdo-name ]
[ NEWPWD= nnnnnnnn ]
[ PWD= pppppppp ]
USERID= uuuuuuuu
MDO= mdo-name
defines the name of the variable stem from which MDO information is to be
retrieved. For the SECCALL CHANGE verb, only the user name, location, and
phone fields in the MDO may be updated. A password change requires the
explicit operand NEWPWD.
NEWPWD= nnnnnnnn
specifies the new password to be associated with the user ID. If you do not supply
this field, personal details from the MDO become the data that is used by the
SECCALL CHANGE verb. The password is not changed.
PWD= pppppppp
specifies the current (old) password associated with the user ID. If this operand is
omitted, a forced password change is assumed. The issuing user must have full
UMS authority.
USERID= uuuuuuuu
specifies the user ID whose password is to be changed. If the user ID specified
( uuuuuuuu ) is not that of the issuing user, then full UMS authority is required.
Considerations
Full UMS authority is required to change another user's password.
The &SYS.RETCODE system variable is set to 0 (zero) if the password change
completed without errors. It is set to 4 if the function is not supported.
&SYS.RETCODE is set to 8 if the password has not been changed, in which case
further information is available in &SYSMSG or, if an error handler has been
supplied, in &SYS.ERROR.TEXT.
