- This only works for you because you have SYSNAM privilege, perhaps.
- DEFINE/EXECUTIVE_MODE is allowed only if you have SYSNAM. It is converted to
- /SUPERVISOR_MODE if you do not have SYSNAM.
-
- I just tried the original suggestion. Here's the results:
-
- $ define sys$output test.dat
- $ recall/all
- $ deassign sys$output
- $ type test.dat
- 1 def sys$output test.dat
- 2 sho log/ful sys$output
- 3 hel def
- $
-
- I did this with absolutely no privileges other than TMPMBX and NETMBX. With VMS
- V5.5, it works as described, as I have demonstrated, at least to myself.
