Details

The DMSRVUSER function registers a user on a secure DataFlux Data Management Server. A return value of zero indicates storage of credentials was successful. A return value of 1 indicates a failure to store the credentials.

Call this function as needed in a single DATA step to access different Data Management Servers or to change the registered user credentials within a single Data Management Server.
If security has not been configured on a DataFlux Data Management Server, then the DMSRVUSER function has no effect.
Return values are 0 (successful registration of credentials) or 1 (failed to register credentials).
