RE: Deleting Users

The file that OV/400 uses is QAOFENRB. The directory files are QAOKP01A
through QAOKP09A (except there is no QAOKP07A for some reason). I have found
that a user ID sometimes gets 'stuck' and you can't remove it from the
system. Deleting it from these files fixes that.

        Many moons ago we discovered, (the hard way), that you want to
delete all 
        users from OV/400 prior to removing it from your system.  Otherwise
it's 
        nigh impossible, using the standard commands, to delete someone from
the 
        system.  Seems the removal leaves certain files on your system that
have 
        links directly to the user profiles.  And I believe that someone
actually 
        hacked as to what these files may be.  Just don't confuse these
files with 
        the files used by the WRKDIRE.  Oh, and by the way, deleting a user 
        profile should automatically delete them from the system directory 
        (WRKDIRE), at least it does on any version of OS that is currently 
        supported.

        They are probably still in the directory. Use the WRKDIRE command to

        remove
        them.

                         I am unable to delete users off my AS400.

                         I try deleting this users and move the objects
owned by 
        that user to
        another
                         user profile and still didn't delete.

                         The only message I get is that it was unable to
delete 
        the user.

                         Anyone have any ideas of what I can do?  I have
several 
        users that I
        need to
                         delete out of my system.


                         Thanks,
