| Putting It All Together: Views and User Profiles. Let's say that you want to expose a "DASD VOLUME" to three different users: AAA, BBB and CCC. Further more, you want each user to "see" only a specific "set of files" and perform "certain operations" against this set of files. To do this, your first create a "VTOC view" then create a profile for each user. Save the following statements in the startup sublibrary under the name of TST000.FTPC. We use the name TST000 for illustration purposes only. You are free to choose any name. But, remember that the type is fixed and must always be FTPC. Save the following statements in the startup sublibrary under the name of AAA.PROF, BBB.PROF and CCC.PROF, respectively. Notice that all three users basically "share" the same "VIEW". Yet, the properties (permitted operations) and the set of files each user sees are different. |

| AAA's Profile (AAA.PROF): VIEW = BEGIN CONFIG = TST000 PROPERTIES = DELETE=N,RENAME=N,CMNDS=ALL MASK = AAA.?.PROJ%.* VIEW = END |

| CCC'S PROFILE (CCC.PROF): VIEW = BEGIN CONFIG = TST000 PROPERTIES = DELETE=N,RENAME=N,CMNDS=LIST MASK = CCC.?.PROJ%.* VIEW = END |
