C60:  OPENSBYOBJECTS 
This keyword controls what object files XAC will allow to be opened in addition to the 
OBJECT program. Filenames can be up to 40-characters in length, including node 
specifications; wildcards are permitted. Up to 100 OPENSBYOBJECTS per ACACL 
Command Entry are allowed, with a maximum of 800 for all ACACL Command Entries. 
If OPENSBYOBJECTS is not specified, then no objects can be opened; that is, no 
programs can be run. 
Syntax: 
OPENSBYOBJECTS <filename list> 
Example: 
COMMAND CMI-255 
 DESCRIPTION "CMI AS SUPER.COMM" 
 USER 255,253 
 OBJECT $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.CMI 
 ACL 1,* 3,5 
 TIMEOUT 300 
 OPENSBYOBJECTS \XYPRO.$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.CMPLIB 
The above example runs CMI as user 255,253 and only allows CMPLIB to access the 
terminal. This prevents the use of the CMI XEQ command to start programs. 
Note: The strings following OPENSBYOBJECTS are wildcard specifications for object 
files. They are treated as wildcard strings. They are not checked for 
conformance with valid filenames. Specifying a string that contains characters 
that are not part of a valid filename (such as a comma) means that XAC will not 
find a match. This will cause unexpected denials of opens.
