- You are correct that this is a [group,member] UIC but your reason
- is incorrect. If there is a symbolic name for the member, there must
- be an identifier for the owner's UIC. Rather, VMS normally displays
- the ownership in this mode if an identifier for the group exists. That
- is an identifer with the value [group#, 17777]. The AUTHORIZE program
- will try to create such an identifer if the ACCOUNT field has a value.
-
- You can get rid of the group, displaying just [WHO] instead of
- [my,WHO] by deleteing the identifier my. If it really is in lower case
- be sure to put it in quotes to prevent the parse routines from turning
- it into upper case. In AUTHORIZE,
-
- SHOW/ID "my"
- REMOVE/ID "my"
-
- You should be aware that if you ever add a user with the account field
- set, AUTHORIZE will recreate the identifier.
