Disk-based Bit-mapped Lockout Proprietary Cards
How to Select Positive Lockout
Type LOCK CARD;A.
LOCK CARD;A (LOC CA;A)
[P:]* LOCK CARD;A
↵
[P:]*
Makes all cards invalid.
Disk-based Bit-mapped Lockout
Disk-based bit-mapped lockout is available, depending on your configuration in SYS_PAR.
The data is stored in a file called P:LOCKOUT?.DTA, where ? is N or P, meaning negative or
positive lockouts, respectively.
If you use disk-based bit-mapped lockout, you still must have at least one lockout record in
TABLE configuration, since this is where the positive or negative status of lockout is stored.
The SYSBACK.CMD command does not backup a lockout table if the file LOCKOUT?.DTA
exists.
The LOCKOUT?.DTA file is created when either the UNLOCK CARD;A or LOCK CARD;A
command is entered. A file descriptor is opened the first time lockout is accessed. Since the
file descriptor stays open, if the lockout file is subsequently modified by means other than
lockout commands (such as copying a file over the top of it), you must reboot the site to read
in the new information.
How to Check a Card’s Lockout Status
Type CHECK CARD.
CHECK CARD (C CA)
[P:]* CHECK CARD;C
↵
Account number? C0056300044000121132
↵
C0056300044000121132: Card is not
valid
Account number? 4842150958999
↵
4842150958999: Card is valid
Account number?
↵
[P:]*
The terminal will print the card’s status. You may use the C option with the command CHECK
CARD. The site in this example has limited lockout.
