SHOWGROUP Command
SHOWGROUP Command
The SHOWGROUP command enables or disables the display to a group manager
(user ID n,255) of all jobs that belong to group members. This command affects the
displays produced by the JOB and STATUS commands.
ON
enables display to a group manager of all the jobs that belong to the manager’s
group members. This is the default value and is equivalent to entering
SHOWGROUP.
OFF
disables display to a group manager of all jobs that belong to the group.
Considerations

Before SHOWGROUP ON can be enabled, group manager access must be
enabled for the spooler by setting MGRACCESS ON with the Spoolcom
SPOOLER command. Only an authorized user can enable group manager
access. See the SPOOLER command description in Section 4, Spoolcom.

Assuming group manager access is enabled for the spooler and you, a group
manager, invoke Peruse, all jobs belonging to your group are displayed in addition
to your own. You can then access all the jobs as if you were the owner. For
example, if your group number were 10, your user ID would be 10,255 and you
could display and access all jobs for users with a user ID of 10,n.

Assuming group manager access is enabled for the spooler and you have set
SHOWGROUP OFF, you can still access jobs belonging to your group even
though they are not displayed by the JOB and STATUS commands.

If manager access is disabled for the spooler, the SHOWGROUP command has
no effect.

If MGRACCESS is set off while you are running a Peruse session, the current job
is accessible even if it belongs to a group member. You need to reestablish the
current job.
