• SQL SQL/MX object

NOTE:

For an OSS file, a 10-character OSS security vector appears in the RWEP column. (The vector extends into the TYPE column.) For more information, see the Open System Services User’s Guide.

NOTE:

If an OSS file has a POSIX ACL protection, FUP INFO displays a plus sign (+) after the permissions. However, if FUP INFO is executed remotely from a system without ACL support, “+” will not be printed for files with optional ACL entries. This feature is supported only on systems running G06.29 and later G-series RVUs and H06.08 and later H-series RVUs
