CL Command List > DSPNCK Reference
Description:
The Display Nickname (DSPNCK) command is used to display, print, or create a database output file for nicknames in the system distribution directory.
A nickname is a short version of either a directory entry or a distribution list name.
Output from this command is directed as follows:
. For displayed output, the default is to display a list of all nicknames. When a nickname is specified, detailed information on that nickname only is displayed.
. For printed or database file output, the default is to write all nicknames to which the user has access. When a nickname is specified, detailed information on that nickname only is written to the output file.
Restriction: You must be the owner to display a private nickname. No special authority is needed to display a private nickname that you own or a public nickname.
