                       -< sample code  for SYS$PERSONA >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Here is a sample code: user "TRASFE" has only TMPMBX and NETMBX privs;
    the first lib$spawn works, the second, after using sys$persona, does
    not.
    The account from wich I run this code has the following provileges set:
    TMPMBX,NETMBX,DETACH (required for sys$persona), SYSPRV (required too
    for sys$persona, although documentation states only DETACH needed)
    To me it looks like a privileges issue! Thanks,
     
    Gaetano
