Operation Notes 

The operator uses the DISALLOW command to prohibit a user from executing
specific operator commands previously allowed with the ALLOW command.
You can use the command in any of three ways:

   *   Direct mode, in which you enter specific user names and account
       and the list of prohibited commands directly at the console.

   *   Indirect mode, in which you use a text editor such as EDIT/3000 to
       create a file that contains the user name and account of those
       users who will be prohibited from executing certain operator
       commands, and a list of disallowed commands.

   *   Subsystem mode, in which you enter the DISALLOW command, press
       Return, and, at the ">" prompt, enter the user and account names
       and the list of prohibited commands.

See the "Examples" section for more information.

You may enter as many prohibited commands as you want, in any of the
three modes.  However, in direct mode and subsystem mode, DISALLOW acts
to prohibit the first nineteen commands and ignores any additional
commands you may have specified.  To disallow more than nineteen
commands, create a file that contains the necessary information and
specify it on the command line (i.e.  "Indirect mode").


NOTE Do NOT confuse operator commands with console commands. For a description of the difference between console and operator commands refer to the ALLOW command. The commands which may be disallowed are the same as the commands which may be allowed. Refer to the ALLOW command for a list of commands which may be allowed.
Use This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break will terminate subsystem mode and produce an error message but has no effect on commands already entered in subsystem mode. This command may be used only from the console unless distributed to users with the ALLOW command. Examples To prohibit the user USER.TECH from executing the REPLY and ABORTIO commands, enter the following at the system console: DISALLOW USER.TECH;COMMANDS=REPLY,ABORTIO To use subsystem mode to prohibit the user MGR.MANUALS from executing the BREAKJOB command, enter the following at the system console: DISALLOW >MGR.MANUALS;COMMANDS=BREAKJOB >EXIT : To use indirect mode, you create a file with all of the necessary information, and then invoke the changes by specifying the file using the FILE= parameter of the DISALLOW command.
