Example

RESMODES = 'BC'


Details

This variable defines a list of filemodes which are to be considered as "reserved" and never available for dynamic ACCESS. That is, LISTSERV will never ACCESS a library minidisk by itself under one of these filesmodes. You may of course use them to ACCESS minidisks from the PROFILE EXEC or from any local command/exec you may have written. Note that A,D,S and Z are always reserved, regardless of what you put in the RESMODES variable. Also, any filemode which happens to be in use at the time LISTSERV is started will be marked as reserved, so that LISTSERV will never release minidisks which were ACCESSed when it was started. 

Note that the value for RESMODES= must be in UPPER CASE.


Default Value

None (that is, no RESMODES are reserved by default).


Wildcards

Not allowed.
