Re: Commands for Limited Users

Jim,

Sorry, I should have been more clear.  This is the list of commands that
limited capabilities are allowed to run from an OS/400 command line.
But as I mentioned earlier, there are other interfaces that limited
capability users can use to run these (and other) commands.

LMTCPB users can are not restricted from running other commands from
within a compiled program - assuming they have at least *USE authority
to the command object.
