USERDATA
The USERDATA field defined in the RACF templates is provided by
IBM for installation use and exists in all profile types (RACF classes),
not only user. It can be used to store additional information such as a
user’s job title, pager number, e-mail address, a group’s function, etc.
It is a combination field that defines a repeat group where each
occurrence within the repeat group contains the following three
fields:
• USRNM. 8 characters; used as the name of the entry.
• USRDATA. 1-255 bytes; contains the data.
• USRFLG. 1 byte; can be used as a flag.
An additional field called USRCNT contains the number of
USERDATA occurrences that exist in the profile.
MCINTY can be used to maintain these fields while providing
selective control over who can read/update individual entries.
Installation exits or other programs can access the data using the
ICHEINTY macro interface.
Figure 2 shows the format of data returned by an ICHEINTY request
for ALL USERDATA occurrences.
Hidden fields
Hidden fields are supported to allow data that should not be displayed
to be stored in a USERDATA entry. The field name should start with
an ‘@’ sign, which indicates to MCINTY that it should not display any
associated data when it is retrieved. In this case, this program will
display each character of the field as a ‘?’ to indicate the length and
presence of the field while not disclosing the contents. For example:
MCINTY ADD PROF(FRED) CLASS(USER) FIELDS(@PW) DATA(1234567)
IMPLEMENTATION
Installation
The program should be assembled and link-edited into an APF
