ENABLE.KEY

The ENABLE.KEY statement is used to enter the password for a secure encryption key.

Format

ENABLE.KEY keyname, password {THEN statement(s)} {ELSE statement(s)}

where

At least one of the THEN and ELSE clauses must be present.

An encryption key created using the CREATE.SECURE.KEY command can only be accessed in a QM session after it has been enabled by use of the ENABLE.KEY statement of the corresponding ENABLE.KEY command.
 
If successful, the THEN clause is executed. If unsuccessful, the ELSE clause is executed after a short pause.

Access to the key can be denied again by use of DISABLE.KEY.
