The SYSFILE statement enables you
to specify the ADABAS file number, password, cipher code, and database
identifier for the system file containing DDMs.
If you specified SECURITY=YES
in the access descriptor, you cannot change the values for the password
and cipher code in the view descriptor. However, if no values were
entered in the access descriptor, you can enter them in the view descriptor,
even if the SECURITY=YES statement has been issued.
Note that you can associate
a password, cipher code, and database identifier with an ADABAS file
number, system file, and security file.
