[comp.os.vms] utility to tell if a user holds a given identifier

WARNOCK@prism.clemson.EDU (Todd Warnock) (08/03/87)

Someone recently inquired about ways to check whether a user (from DCL) holds
a given identifier.  

I have a utility I wrote that allows you to check (from DCL) whether or not
a user holds a given identifier.  It's installed with SYSPRV, and works like
this:

$ ID_HOLDER/SYMBOL=my_symbol/IDENTIFIER=some_identifier/USERNAME=username
$ IF my_symbol THEN WRITE "Yes, you've got the identifier !"


ID_HOLDER returns "TRUE" or "FALSE" in the symbol you specify on the command
line.  

If you are interested, let me know !
