4 – Output Item Codes
None.
5 – Description
The MAIL$USER_SET_INFO routine modifies specified records in
the user profile database. If you do not specify a user name,
the routine modifies the user record associated with the calling
process.
To modify any user record other than that associated with the
calling process, you must have SYSPRV privilege. However, if
you want to add or modify only the forwarding address of another
user, SYSNAM privilege is sufficient.
