Determines the output display format and the input mode for ADMINISTER commands. The SET MODE command settings can affect how Unicode or extended character set characters (code points) with values of hexadecimal 0080 or higher are handled on input and output.

Settings made with this command are preserved until you log out from the system. These settings will determine the default modes that take effect each time you invoke the ADMINISTER command interface. The current setting for the ADMINISTER command input mode overrides the current OpenVMS DCL parse style setting.

If you have not yet used the SET MODE command to change input or output mode settings during your present system user login session, the defaults are determined by the current OpenVMS DCL parse style. If the parse style is TRADITIONAL (the OpenVMS default), the input and output modes are RAW; if the parse style is EXTENDED, the input and output modes are VTF7.

You can set permanent defaults by inserting the appropriate SET MODE command in your LOGIN.COM file. The server does not have to be running for this command to execute.

SHOW MODE

Qualifiers

/RAW

For terminals that support the ISO-8859-n character sets, the actual extended character set characters in the Advanced Server's character set are used for input and output. If this qualifier is set for a terminal that does not support ISO-8859-n character sets, and filtering is not enabled, output will be unpredictable. Enable filtering with the /OUTPUT qualifier.

/VTF7

Code point values that map to Unicode hexadecimal values 0080 to 00FF (128 to 255 decimal) are input in either the ^xx or ^Uxxxx format, and displayed in the ^xx format, while code point values 0100 to FFFF (256 to 65,535 decimal) are input and displayed in the ^Uxxxx format.

The extended character set characters for Unicode values 0080 to 00FF (128 to 255 decimal) can be input in either of two different formats: ^xx and ^uxxxx. Unicode values above 00FF (255 decimal) must be entered in the ^uxxxx format.

/INPUT=(mode)

Sets only the input mode. The mode keyword can be one of the following:

Mode	Description
RAW	The input characters are handled as the actual characters in the Advanced Server's character set.
VTF7	The input characters are handled as VTF-7 characters.

Note that if the input and output modes differ, your command input might appear in one format while being displayed in another.

/OUTPUT=mode[/[NO]FILTER]

Specifies the output mode only. The mode keyword can be one of the following:

Mode	Description
RAW	The output characters are displayed as the actual characters in the Advanced Server's character set.
VTF7	The output characters are displayed as VTF-7 characters.

Optionally, specify the /FILTER qualifier to convert characters before they are output. If filtering is enabled (the default), the C1 character codes (127 through 160 decimal) are converted to spaces before being output. Specify /NOFILTER to disable filtering; output on some terminals might be unpredictable.

You can specify one mode only. You can specify one mode and the /[NO]FILTER qualifier, or just the /[NO]FILTER.

Note that if the input and output modes differ, your command input might appear in one format while being displayed in another.

Examples

 LAPLAYA\\VALENCIA> SET MODE/VTF7 
 
LAPLAYA\\VALENCIA> SHOW SHARE ^BFESPA^F1OL /FULL 
 
Shared resources on server "VALENCIA": 
 
Name          Type       Description 
------------  ---------  ------------------------------------------------------- 
^BFESPA^D1OL  Directory 
    Path: USER1:[^BFESPA^F1OL] 
    Connections:  Current: 0, Maximum: No limit 
    RMS file format: Stream 
    Directory Permissions: System: RW, Owner: RW, Group: RW, World: R 
    File Permissions: System: RW, Owner: RW, Group: RW, World: R 
    Share Permissions: 
        Everyone                        Full Control 
 
  Total of 1 share 
      

In this example, the output and input modes are set to VTF7. The subsequent SHOW command reveals how certain code point values in the Spanish language's character set are then displayed.

 LAPLAYA\\VALENCIA> SET MODE/OUTPUT=RAW 
 
LAPLAYA\\VALENCIA> SHOW SHARE ^BFESPA^F1OL /FULL 
 
Shared resources on server "VALENCIA": 
 
Name          Type       Description 
------------  ---------  ---------------------------------------------------- 
¿ESPAÑOL      Directory 
    Path: USER1:[¿ESPAÑOL] 
    Connections:  Current: 0, Maximum: No limit 
    RMS file format: Stream 
    Directory Permissions: System: RW, Owner: RW, Group: RW, World: RW 
    File Permissions: System: RW, Owner: RW, Group: RW, World: R 
    Share Permissions: 
        Everyone                        Full Control 
 
  Total of 1 share 
 
 
      

In this example, the output mode is set to RAW mode. The terminal supports the ISO-8859-1 character set (used when the Spanish language is configured), so the actual Spanish characters in the character set are displayed. The input mode is VTF7 by default --- note how the Spanish characters are handled on input differ from the way they are displayed.

 $! User LOGIN.COM file 
   .
   .
   .
$ ADMINISTER SET MODE/VTF7/OUTPUT=NOFILTER 
      

This command, entered in your LOGIN.COM file, sets permanent defaults for each time you log in to your OpenVMS system. This command sets input and output modes to VTF7, with output unfiltered. The server does not have to be running for this command to execute.

Sets a new password for a user account in a domain.

Format

SET PASSWORD [user-name [old-password [new-password]]] [/qualifier]

restrictions

Use of this command does not require special group membership.

Passwords entered on the SET PASSWORD command line are accepted as caseless. See restrictions regarding the old-password and new-password parameters.

Parameters

user-name

Specifies the user account name of the user whose password is to be changed. If you do not enter a user name on the command line, you will be prompted to enter one.

old-password

Specifies the current password for the user account. The password is displayed as you enter it. If you do not enter a password, or you enter it as an asterisk (*), a prompt is issued. The password is not displayed when you enter it at the prompt.

Passwords entered on the command line are converted to uppercase unless they are enclosed within quotation marks. If the password contains lowercase letters, blanks (spaces), or other nonalphanumeric characters, enclose it in quotation marks unless you enter it in response to the password prompt.

new-password

Specifies the new password for the user account, which may be up to 14 characters in length. If you omit the new password, or you specify it as an asterisk (*), you are prompted for the new password and a confirmation. The password is not displayed when you enter it at the prompt.

New passwords are accepted as caseless. For a new password that includes lowercase letters, use the MODIFY USER command with the /PASSWORD qualifier (requires administrative privileges).

Qualifiers

/DOMAIN=domain-name

Specifies the domain in which to change the password. The default is the domain of the local server.

Examples

 LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> SET PASSWORD LION GOLD SILVER 
 %PWRK-S-PSWCHANGED, password changed for user "LION" in domain "LANDOFOZ" 
      

The example changes the password for the user LION from GOLD to SILVER. The password is changed on the domain of the local server, which in this example is LANDOFOZ.

 LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> SET PASSWORD WIZARD/DOMAIN=KANSAS 
 Old password: 
 New password: 
 New password verification: 
 %PWRK-S-PSWCHANGED, password changed for user "WIZARD" in domain 
 "KANSAS" 
      

This example changes the password for user WIZARD on the domain KANSAS. Because the old and new passwords were not specified on the command line, prompts were issued for the old password, the new password, and a verification of the new password.
