Enables you to append a field to the end of the From: field of mail messages you send. You can fill this field with your full name or any other information. The SET NOPERSONAL_NAME command clears any name you previously specified with the SET PERSONAL_NAME command. The SHOW PERSONAL_NAME command displays a user's personal name. Format SET PERSONAL_NAME "text-string" SET NOPERSONAL_NAME SHOW PERSONAL_NAME
1 – Parameter
"text-string" Specifies the string following your node name and user name for the From: field of mail messages you send. You must enclose the string in quotation marks; otherwise, Mail converts it to uppercase letters. You must begin the string with an alphabetic character and avoid two consecutive embedded spaces within the string. The length of the text string should not exceed 127 characters.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /ALL
Used with the SHOW PERSONAL_NAME command to allow a user with SYSNAM privilege to list personal name information set by other users or to display a message if a user has not entered a personal name. The /ALL qualifier is valid only when used with the /USER qualifier and works only with the SHOW PERSONAL_NAME command.
2.2 /USER
/USER=name Used with the SHOW PERSONAL_NAME command to allow a user with SYSNAM privilege to list personal names set by other users. There are two ways to show a user's personal name. The user name can be specified, or you can use the wildcard characters (* or %) to search for names with a particular string in common. The /USER qualifier works only with the SHOW PERSONAL_NAME command and not with the SET PERSONAL_NAME command.

This example shows how to display the personal name of user NELSON. Because NELSON has not set a personal name, the message is displayed.
