Details

Note: This statement is used only when a DDM is specified; otherwise, it is ignored. [cautionend]

The NSS statement specifies NATURAL SECURITY options, including a library identifier, user identifier, and a password.

If you specify YES for the SECURITY statement in an access descriptor, values declared for Library, User, and Password cannot be changed in a subsequent view descriptor based on the access descriptor.

library-identifier: is an eight-character library identifier. The first character must be alphabetic. The library identifier is the same as the application identifier in SAS/ACCESS Interface to ADABAS, Version 6.
user-identifier: is an eight-character user identifier.
Natural-Security-password: is an eight-character ADABAS password. The value is written to the access descriptor in encrypted form.
