- Of course there is a way to get around, without using privileges, I warn you
- this is very brief and very technical.
-
- 1) You can avoid the command definition by defining the program as a foreign
- command, and then use LIB$GET_FOREIGN, to get the input to CLI$DCL_PARSE.
- You will have to link the CLD into the image too, this requires changing the
- CLD from 'image' to 'module'. Please consult the CLI manual.
-
- 2) You can use a global section instead of an installed common block, this
- requires code to explicit create the global section in the program. Note
- that the approach restricts the sharing of data to users in the same group,
- that is if you had SYSGBL privilege, you could do it, but... Please consult
- the system services manual.
