What happens if I omit any #CTABGEN DCMT command node security parameter setting?

Issue/Introduction
If some DCMT command nodes are omitted from the #CTABGEN assembly does this mean they are unsecured?
Environment
IDMS - All Supported releases
Resolution
Yes.
The #CTABGEN macro is used to assign and secure DCMT activity numbers for each DMCT command. It is then assembled into program IDMSCTAB and enables you to apply a DMCT security label with an activity number to certain DMCT commands. For example, DCMT SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE would be assigned the 7 character command code of N001001 and in this example, a DMCT activity number of 9:
-+-1-+-2-+-3-+-4-+-5-+-6-+-7-
#CTABGEN(9), X
(N001001,9)
If this DCMT command was not assigned an activity number, it would default to zero. Zero means no security. Only commands that are secured need to be coded. If omitted, they default to zero.
