Create a new session

Note: Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent for the $Session_Create function is the SetSession shared method.

$Session_Create creates a new session, accepts four arguments and returns a zero, indicating success, or a number indicating the cause of error, if there is one.

The first argument is the ID to be given to the new session. This is a required argument.

The second argument is the userid that will own this session. An owner value of asterisk (*) means that the session is public, that is available to all users. Only a system administrator can create a non-public session for a user other than itself. This optional argument defaults to the creating user's userid.

The third argument is the time after a $Session_Close (or logout) after which the session is considered timed-out, that is, eligible for deletion. A value of -1 means use the SRSDEFTO parameter value. This optional argument defaults to -1, that is the SRSDEFTO parameter value.

The fourth argument is a blank delimited set of options to control the create process. The options are:

OPEN Automatically open the session upon creating it. This is the default behavior.
NOOPEN Don't automatically open the session upon creating it. This is not the default behavior but might be useful if creating a session for another user or creating many sessions at once.

Syntax

%rc = $Session_Create(sesid, [owner], [timeout], [opts])

Return codes

%rc is set to 0 or to an error indicator.

0 - No errors 1 - Session id already exists for user 2 - Online session limit exceeded 3 - User session limit exceeded

Example

The following example creates a session called "GROUCHO" followed by a timestamp then sets a cookie for a web application so that the session can be easily located on subsequent web requests.

%sesid = 'GROUCHO' WITH $SirTime %rc = $Session_Create(%sesid, , 3600) %rc = $Web_Set_Cookie('SESID', %sesid)
