RNMNCK (Rename Nickname)

RNMNCK Command syntax diagram

Purpose

The Rename Nickname (RNMNCK) command is used to rename an existing nickname in the system distribution directory. The new nickname must be unique if it is a public nickname. The new nickname must be unique only for the owner if it is a private nickname.

A nickname is a short version of either a directory entry or a distribution list name. You can specify a nickname instead of the full directory entry or distribution list name on many OfficeVision displays. More information about nicknames is in the SNA Distribution Services book.

Restrictions:

1. You must have security administrator (*SECADM) authority to rename a public nickname that you do not own. No special authority is needed for you to rename a public nickname that you own.

2. Only the owner can rename a private nickname. No special authority is needed.
