FREEZE DISKFILE-PATTERN Command
FREEZE DISKFILE-PATTERN temporarily suspends the access authorities granted to 
users on a diskfile pattern ACL. While a diskfile pattern is frozen, only the pattern 
owner, an owner on the ACL, the primary owner’s group manager, and the local super 
ID can access the pattern. Any other users get a security violation error (file error 48).
An owner of a pattern, the primary owner’s group manager, and the super ID can 
freeze a diskfile pattern.
Use THAW DISKFILE-PATTERN to restore all the access authorities that were in effect 
before the pattern was frozen.
