Specifies whether or not users can be spied upon.
This common end-user parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), and TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement).
SPYABLE TELL specifies that all users may be spied upon, provided that the user being spied upon accepts the spy operation. SPYABLE TELL also causes a message to be sent to the target user when the spy operation is terminated.
SPYABLE TELL is a prerequisite for the SPYOFF command, which is documented in the Technical Reference manual.
SPYABLE=Yes specifies that all users may be spied upon without the need for acceptance of the spy operation. SPYABLE=No prevents a user from being spied upon.
Note: A shared user is not SPYABLE. Use SPY LU if sharing users; for details, see 'SPY operator command' in the Technical Reference manual.
