PASSWORD parameter z/OS MVS JCL Reference SA23-1385-00 |
|
Parameter type Keyword, optional Note: Do not specify this parameter for a started task;
if PASSWORD is specified, the job will fail.
Purpose Use the PASSWORD parameter to identify a current RACF® password or specify a new RACF password. You can specify a new password at any time and must specify a new password when your current one expires. If the installation contains the installation exit routine used to verify the password, a new password specified in the PASSWORD parameter takes effect when the job is read in. The new password takes effect even if the job is held for execution later and may take effect even if the job fails because of JCL errors. When changing the password, other jobs that use the new or old password may fail, depending on when their passwords are verified. If the installation contains the feature for propagation of the
user and group identification, the USER and the PASSWORD parameters
are required, and the GROUP parameter is optional on JOB statements
only for the following:
Otherwise, the USER, PASSWORD, and GROUP parameters can be omitted from JOB statements. RACF uses the userid, password, and default group id of the submitting TSO/E user or job. References For more information on using RACF-protected facilities, see the z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide. Considerations for an APPC scheduling environment The PASSWORD parameter has no function in an APPC scheduling environment. If you code PASSWORD, the system will check it for syntax and ignore it. |
