This statement defines the defaults for the current BS2ZIP program run.
You can specify that BS2ZIP files should be encrypted when they are added and decrypted when they are extracted. BS2ZIP creates the keys which are required from the crypto password specified,
MODIFY-ZIP-OPTIONS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
ENCRYPTION = *UNCHANGED / *NO / *YES(...)
Specifies whether or not added files must be encrypted, and extracted files must be decrypted.
ENCRYPTION = *UNCHANGED
The current setting is retained. ENCRYPTION=*NO is set when BS2ZIP is started.
ENCRYPTION = *NO
Specifies that the encryption may not be used. If a password has been specified by a previous statement, the encryption keys will be removed.
ENCRYPTION = *YES(...)
Specifies that the encryption must be used, for adding files and for extracting encrypted files.
CRYPTO-PASSWORD = <c-string 1..100 with-low> / <x-string 1..200> / *SECRET Specifies the password to be used for encrypting and decrypting data.
The operand has the following special characteristics:
The password entered is not logged.
The input field is automatically blanked out in the guided dialog.
If *SECRET or ^ is specified, in unguided dialog and in foreground procedures SDF provides a non-displaying entry field for concealed entry of the password.
CONFIRM-PASSWORD = *NOT-SPECIFIED / <c-string 1..100 with-low> / <x-string 1..200> / *SECRET
Permits the entry check for the crypto password. Entering the password twice is to avoid a password containing a typing error being assigned when password entry is nondisplaying.
If a value other than the default *NOT-SPECIFIED is entered, then is must be identical with the entry made for CRYPTO-PASSWORD, otherwise the statement is rejected. The operand has the following special characteristics:
The password entered is not logged.
The input field is automatically blanked out in the guided dialog.
If *SECRET or ^ is specified, in unguided dialog and in foreground procedures SDF provides a non-displaying entry field for concealed entry of the password.
Note
As soon as the password is recognized, it is treated by BS2ZIP in order to store encryption keys in memory. The password itself is deleted from the memory.
