ALTER EVENT-EXIT-PROCESS Command
ENABLE-PASSWORD-EVENT { ON | OFF }
specifies whether password change events are sent to the event-exit process 
for a password-quality check. ON indicates that the events are sent to the 
event-exit process when it is enabled.
If ENABLE-PASSWORD-EVENT is ON and ENABLE-AUTHENTICATION-
EVENT is also ON, password changes that occur during a logon dialog are not 
sent to the password-quality exit. In this instance, the password-quality exit is 
invoked only for password changes from the PASSWORD program and from 
the Safeguard ADD USER, ALTER USER, ADD ALIAS, and ALTER ALIAS 
commands.
If ENABLE-PASSWORD-EVENT is ON and ENABLE-AUTHENTICATION-
EVENT is OFF, all password change events are sent to the password-quality 
exit for evaluation. 
PROG [prog-filename]
specifies the name of the object program file to be run when the ENABLED 
attribute is set to ON. It must be a local file name. prog-filename must be 
specified before the ENABLED attribute can be set to ON.
The default value is no object program file. A null entry resets the value to the 
default value.
If an attempt is made to set this field to null and the ENABLED attribute is set 
to ON, the command is rejected. The ENABLED attribute must be set to OFF 
before this field can be set to null.
LIB [lib-filename]
specifies the library file to be used with the event-exit process. lib-filename 
must be a local file name. 
The default value is no library. A null entry resets the value to the default value.
SWAP [$vol[.subvol.filename]]
specifies the name of the volume or file to be used as the swap volume or file 
for the event-exit process. $vol must be a local volume name. You can 
optionally supply a subvolume name and file name.
If you omit this attribute, the value used for SWAP when starting PROG is the 
same volume that contains the PROG object file. 
PNAME [process-name]
specifies the process name to be assigned to the event-exit process when it is 
started. process-name must be a local process name.
