MU Heading

The MU heading defines a special model user entry in the USERDATAFILE. The USER data specifications that are entered with an MU heading are referenced as the default data specifications for a user entry that is created with either the MU (Make User) system command or the MAKEUSERCODE intrinsic in Data Comm ALGOL.

Note: The fact that PU is specified with the MU heading—that is, the value of the PU bit is 1 in the MU model—only enables the PRIVILEGED option of the MU command. It does not make all MU creations privileged users. For information on the MU command, see the Security SDK.

The three forms of the MU heading have the following effects:

  • +MU indicates that a new model user entry is to be entered, together with the specified data, into the USERDATAFILE.

  • MU indicates that an existing model user entry is to be modified with the specified data.

  • –MU deletes the model user entry from the USERDATAFILE, which disables the MU command.
