Field Name

Type / Max Length

Action / Description

Security password

Required
10 alphanumeric

Enter the password that you want the user to enter at the Enter program password prompt to be able to access this program.

If a user enters an incorrect password three times, the system displays the message Security Violation. When the user clicks Close, the session closes.

Variable type

Optional
1 alphanumeric

Select the variable that you want the user to add to the password:

Select	To use
1	Day of week (for example, MONDAY)
2	Numeric day of week (For example, 1 for Monday)
3	Month + day (for example, 0331 for March 31)
4	Day + month (for example, 3103 for March 31)
5	User's ID

Variable length

Conditional
2 numeric

Enter the variable length. The variable length plus the password cannot exceed 10. If your password is 4 characters, the maximum variable length is 6.

If you selected Variable type 1 and enter 8 as the variable length, the user enters the full day of the week. For example, if the password is X1, the variable placement is suffix, and it is Tuesday, the user would enter X1TUESDAY, even though Tuesday has fewer than 8 characters.

If you selected Variable type 1 and enter fewer than 5, users may have to enter a portion of their user ID. For example, if the password is SEPTEMBER, the Variable length is 1, and the variable placement is suffix, the user would enter SEPTEMBER plus the first character in their User ID.

Variable type	Enter
1	1 to 8
2	1
3	4
4	4
5	1 to 5

Select the variable placement:

Select	For	If the password is X1
P	Prefix	X1TUESDAY
S	Suffix	TUESDAYX1
M	Middle	XTUESDAY1 If the password has an uneven number of characters, the majority precedes the variable; if the password is APRIL and the variable length is 3, the user enters APRTUEIL.
