Our SOX auditors are hounding me about User Profiles.    I set most of
the IBM supplied profiles to Password = *none.   I did not change the
Status to *Disabled because I don't know about all of the effects of
doing that.

The help window says:
                       Status - Help                         
                                                             
 Specifies whether the user profile is valid for sign on or  
 for getting a profile handle.                               
                                                             
 The possible values are:                                    
  o  *ENABLED: The user profile is valid.                    
  o  *DISABLED: The user profile is not valid.  

What does "getting a profile handle" mean?    Will a disabled profile
prevent programs from running?
