SHARE

Description

Specifies whether or not the user should be defined as a 'shared user'.

This common end-user parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), and TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement).

Format

SHARE [Yes|No|ON|OFF]

Default: SHARE No

Usage

The Shared User facility enables multiple users to sign on with the same userid (see the Installation and Customization manual). This is achieved by appending a 'user qualifier' to the sign-on userid. Depending on the value of parameter MULTUSER on the SYSTEM statement, either the 'user qualifier' is created from the last four characters of the terminal LU name, or it is an eight-digit number in the range 1-99999999.

The IBM Session Manager system variable t_share may be used to refer to the value of SHARE; for details, see the Panels, Scripts and Variables manual.

The RECONANYTERM subparameter (see RECONAnyterm) of the SYSTEM statement enables any 'SHARE=Y' user to reconnect to a disconnected user's sessions with the same name from a different terminal.

Only one of SHARE, SHAREDISC and SHARESESS should be set to Yes at any one time.
