The CHGROUP command enables you to switch from your current group to another group within your logon account.
Syntax
CHGROUP [groupname[/grouppass]]
Parameters
groupname
Specifies the name of the group that you want to switch to. If you omit this parameter, you switch to the home group.

Operation Notes
Usage
You can enter this command from a session or a job, but not from a program or in break mode. Pressing Break does not affect this command.
Command interpreter preservation
This command preserves the entire command interpreter environment (temporary files, file equations, and variables).
Password requirements
In a batch job, you must supply a password if a password is assigned to groupname; otherwise, the job fails and the error message INCORRECT PASSWORD appears. Similarly, during a session, you must supply a password if a password is assigned to groupname; otherwise, the system prompts you for a password.
Examples

:CHGROUP
To switch from the current group to the group called GROUP2, enter:
:CHGROUP GROUP2
