PROF

Description

Depending on which control statement the parameter is specified (see below), defines the name(s) of the profile(s) to be associated with either this user or this terminal.

This parameter is applicable to these control statements: USER (see USER statement), and TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement).

Format

PROF profilename
[PROF profilename]

Default: SYSTEM statement value, or product default -- PROFILE.

Usage

A user can be associated with multiple profiles and their sequence is important. If a particular attribute value (common enduser or common session) has not been defined by the user, the profiles will be searched in the following order and the first value defined explicitly for that attribute will be used:

First PROFILE in the list

Second PROFILE in the list

...

Last PROFILE in the list

See also Rules for profile selection.

Note: If you are using the ESM to assign PROFILE(s) (by setting the ESMPRFCLNM subparameter of the SECURITY parameter on the SYSTEM statement - see ESMPRFCLNM), the PROF parameter is ignored.
