Function
The MODIFY-ADMINISTRATION administration statement allows you to change the administration authorization to suit requirements. Administration authorization is set by means of the DBH option ADMINISTRATOR or the SESDCN control statement SET-DCN-OPTIONS.
You can change both the password, which prevents unauthorized administration of the DBH or SESDCN, and the identification (system user identification) of the administrator. Note that the system user identification entered here is also required for certain utlity statements, e.g. CREATE CATALOG, in authorization checking.
The MODIFY-ADMINISTRATION administration statement is not permitted unless you have made the appropriate settings for the DBH option ADMINISTRATOR when starting the SESAM/SQL DBH. In the case of SESDCN, this is done using SET-DCN-OPTIONS.
You can even use this statement to withdraw your own administration authorization.
