DCL Symbol Substution and AUTHORIZE?

» close window

The Question is:

 
How can I pass parameters to AUTHORIZE within a DCL command procedure?
 
E.g I want to pass UIC and Username to Authorize like;
 
$ RUN AUTHORIZE
COPY 'username' /uic='uic' 'newusername'
 

The Answer is :

 
  The OpenVMS FAQ section "Why doesn't DCL symbol substitution work?"
  will be of interest.
 
  Also please see topics such as (1495) and (1960).
 
  And in this specific case...
 
  $ UAF :== $AUTHORIZE
  $ UAF command
 
  Please note that various utilities do not necessarily support this
  command line syntax.
