The SECFILE statement
enables you to specify the ADABAS file number, password, cipher code,
and database identifier for the NATURAL SECURITY system file.
If you specified SECURITY=YES
in the access descriptor, you cannot change the values for the password
and the cipher code in the view descriptor based on this access descriptor.
However, if no values were specified in the parent access descriptor,
then the values can be entered in the view descriptor, even when the
SECURITY=YES statement has been issued.
Note: You can associate a password,
cipher code, and database identifier with an ADABAS file number, system
file, and security file.

and from an ADABAS file. The value is written to the access descriptor
in encrypted form.
Adabas-database-identifier
