Control Parameters Use the application control parameters in Table 4-2 to
create the “Import control” section of the import control file. These can be
changed by adding the control parameter in the data file. When doing so, add
an exclamation point (!) before the control parameter in the data file. (See
“Data File Edited to Update User Objects” in this chapter .)

Control Parameter Explanation
Create home directory Note: If you don’t set this parameter to Y, you can still import Home
Directory values through the control section of the import control file or
through the data file. These values will be put into the object’s Home
Directory property, but the directory on the file system will not be created.
Allows you to create a home directory for User objects.
If you create a home directory, users automatically receive filesystem rights
to work in that directory. This option will not work unless you set the
“Home directory path” and “Home directory volume” control parameters.
(Also, this option will not work if you define a data field for “Home
Directory,” because that field will override Create home directory.)
For example, if you want the users you are importing to have a home
directory, type CREATE HOME DIRECTORY=Y.
The default setting is “N”, so if you don’t want to create home directories,
no parameter is needed.
