Once you create an indirect file, you then issue the ALLOW command, using the ;SHOW
parameter to display each command line as it is executed from the file. For example:
ALLOW FILE=ALLOWTMP;SHOW
You may backreference the file with a file equation as follows:
FILE BACKF=ALLOWTMP
ALLOW FILE=*BACKF;SHOW
If the file has a lockword, enter it in the command line after the filename. For example,
"ALLOWTMP/password".
Using ALLOW in subsystem mode
To use the ALLOW command in subsystem mode, following these steps:
1. Enter ALLOW, followed by
Return.
2. At the prompt (>), enter all of the commands you want to allow.
3. When you finish, press
Return and enter a colon : as the first character of the new line.
(You may also type EXIT.)
You cannot use the FILE= parameter in subsystem mode. The ALLOW subsystem will
terminate if it encounters an error.
You may allow commands only to users who are currently logged on unless you specify the
@.@ option, which allows commands to all users. (Since this option has obvious
disadvantages, you can remedy the situation by then issuing a DISALLOW command to
disallow command use to selected users.)
Additional capabilities granted to a user are valid only for the duration of their current
session. Once the user logs off, any special capabilities previously assigned are no longer
applicable.
To determine which operator commands have been allowed globally (that is, using the @.@
construct), or to a specific user, use the SHOWALLOW command.
NOTE Do not confuse console commands which are NOT allowable with operator
commands. Operator commands are used in the day-to-day operation of your
system and are generally allowable. A console command must be executed on
the actual system console and must be preceded by
cntl-A. Some console
commands have the same name as non-console commands, an example is
RECALL, which may be executed on any device.
The following is a list of commands that may be allowed.
