── HELLO ─┬───────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────
└─<usercode>─┬──────────────────┤
├─ . ──────────────┤
├─────┬─<password>─┘
└─ / ─┘Explanation
The HELLO command terminates the current session and initiates a new session after log on is complete. Dial-up lines are not disconnected.
When HELLO is entered, the current session ends and CANDE displays system resource usage statistics, followed by the usual greeting, which contains
-
System name and serial number
-
CANDE MCS name (usually CANDE) and version level
-
System host name
-
Station name and LSN
System resource usage statistics are provided in the form of the session number, elapsed time of session (ET), processor time consumed (PT), I/O time consumed (IO), usercode, current time, and the date. They are printed in the following format:
#END SESSION <session number> ET=<time> PT=<time> IO=<time> #USER = <usercode> <time> <date>
A chargecode and accesscode are also printed if applicable. A prompt is then issued to enter a usercode.
When HELLO <usercode> <password> is entered, the log-on procedure is completed (an accesscode and chargecode might also be requested to log on). If the <password> is not entered, the system requests this information in the normal log-on manner.
On systems with the Secure Access Control Module or Password Management security packages, the password must be entered on a separate line (and usually in a protected field), if the security option SECUREPASSWORDS is set. Refer to the MCP Security Overview and Implementation Guide for additional information about security options.
If an unsaved work file exists when the HELLO command is entered, CANDE displays the following message:
#REMOVE OR SAVE WORKFILE
The user must save or remove the work file and re-enter the HELLO command before CANDE will terminate the session.
The <usercode> . form is used to log on to a usercode that does not have a password.
| Note: | If the CASESENSITIVEPW security option is set, passwords must be entered in a case-sensitive form. |
For additional information about usercode/passwords and logging on, refer to User Identification and Logging On.
