Description:

The Change Distribution List (CHGDSTL) command is used to change information about an existing distribution list.

A distribution list is a list of entries from the distribution directory. The distribution list can include entries for users of work stations that are local, remote, indirect, and independent. It also can include remote distribution lists, but it cannot include local distribution lists.

Restrictions:

1. You must have security administrator (*SECADM) authority to change a distribution list that you do not own.

2. No special authority is needed for you to change a distribution list that you own. However, to change the ownership of a distribution list that you own, you must have
at least change (*CHANGE) authority to the user profile of the user to be named as the new owner.



Examples:

CHGDSTL LSTID(DEPTABC DLIST)
LSTD(¡¯Department ABC Distribution List¡¯)
OWNER(SECABC)

This command changes a distribution list that contains the members of Department&rbl.ABC. The description and owner of the distribution list are both changed.
