Fileshare Client

When Fileshare security is active, your program must supply a user-ID and a password before the first I/O operation is performed.

Even if you have not activated security, your program can still supply the Fileshare Client with a user-ID and password. This enables your program to run unchanged on Fileshare whether or not security is activated.

To register a user-ID and password, your program must call the module FHRdrPwd as follows:

call "fhrdrpwd" using function-code,
                      user-ID,
                      user-password
end-call

where the parameters are:

01 function-code       pic x comp-x.
01 user-ID             pic x(20).
01 user-password       pic x(20).

The function code to register a user-ID and password is 1.

The following example shows how to register a user-ID and password:

working-storage section.
01 function-code    pic x comp-x.
01 user-name        pic x(20).
01 user-password    pic x(20).
...
procedure division.
...
    move 1 to function-code
    move "UserID" to user-name
    move "Password" to user-password
    call "fhrdrpwd" using function-code,
                        user-name,
                        user-password
    end-call
    ...
    open output testfile
    ...

You can substitute the FHRdrPwd module supplied with the Fileshare System with your own. This enables you to retrieve the user-ID and password from somewhere other than the application program. See the section Writing Your Own FHRdrPwd Module for further details.
