DISPLAY

Depending on a user’s privileges, many SHOW commands in BS2000 OS DX only display the user’s own data or the data of all users.

However, it can be undesirable to assign additional privileges to a user because these privileges as a rule include more extensive rights, e.g. the executability of commands.

The DISPLAY subsystem enables nonprivileged users to access the full data set of selected SHOW commands without the users having to be granted additional privileges. Only a few SHOW commands which are relevant to security are excluded from this.

To ensure security and compatibility, the standard configuration supplied contains only the basic procedures required. No function commands for accessing privileged data are supplied.
