OPS/REXX Built-in Functions › OPSUSS Function

OPSUSS Function

The OPSUSS function displays information about UNIX System Services (USS) processes, the ID of a user and group, and dub status of the current task in REXX variables. If the caller is properly authorized by the security system, the effective user or group ID of the caller can also be changed dynamically. USS security systems do not usually allow users to display process information for tasks that do not belong to them. A temporary switch to user ID 0 can be required to obtain the desired process data. Process information can be selected by PID (process number), UID (user number), GID (group number), job name, command name, or path name to limit the amount of output produced.

Note: This function can also be used in a TSO/E REXX program. This function can only be used for TOD and REQ rules.

OPSUSS has the following format:

var = OPSUSS(function,subfunction,entity,{keyword arguments})
