| TRANSec(keys) | Specifies one or more indicators, each corresponding to one of the 64 security keys for this transaction.
A user has access to a particular transaction only through a matching key as defined in his sign-on table entry. To toggle a key on you specify its number here. By default all keys are toggled off. You code the keys as a comma-separated list of individual numbers and ranges separated by hyphens. For example, to toggle the keys 1 to 5 and 10 on, code TRANsec(1-5,10). |
| RSL(keys) | (RSL stands for Resource Security Level.) Specifies one or more indicators, each corresponding to one of the 24 resource keys
