Switches you from the current group to another group within the logon account to which you are allowed access. (NM)
CHGROUP [[GROUP=]groupname][/grouppass]
groupname The name of the group to which you will be switched. If you omit this parameter, you will be switched to the home group. grouppass The password of the group you are switching to, if it is assigned a password. In a session, if the target group has a password and you fail to supply one on the command line, MPE/iX will prompt you to enter one. You have three tries to enter the correct password before the command fails. In a batch job, if the target group has a password and you fail to supply one, MPE/iX issues an error message "INCORRECT PASSWORD (CIERR 1441)" and the job fails. In either case, when you switch to your home group, you may omit the password.
This command changes your current group to the one specified by groupname. The entire CI environment is preserved including temporary files, file equations, cataloged UDCs, variables, etc. You must know the password, if any, for groupname. In a session, if a password is associated with groupname and you fail to enter it, you will be prompted for one. In a job, if you omit the password associated with groupname, you will get an error and the job fails. This command is available in a session or job, but not in BREAK or from a program. Pressing [BREAK] has no effect on this command.
The following command switches you from the current group to a group called GORODA. CHGROUP GORODA The following command switches you to the GORODA group if the correct password is MUSASHI. CHGROUP GORODA/MUSASHI To switch to your home group, enter: CHGROUP Back to Main Index
