Update User Expire Date

Access to the system is dependent upon multiple set up requirements. One of the requirements is that user's record in the User Access File cannot have an expiration date that has been reached.

In order to update multiple user records at the same time, create a spreadsheet listing user codes that should either be:

deactivated by having an expiration date entered in their record or
reactivated by having the expiration date removed from their record

Use this program to read the spreadsheet and update the "Account Expire Date" field in the User Access File records.

To access the program, type UAFEXP (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate number on the Security System Menu. The screen will then display:

OPTION: __ UPDATE USER EXPIRE DATE

EXAMPLE: Type /home/abc/USERS.CSV (RET) (absolute path name indicating the file is located in user abc's home directory.
