Try getpwuid or QlgGetpwuid APIs

I keep running into brick walls on this!

Is there a simple way, WITHOUT having to be running under a privileged account, for an ILE program to get the USER PROFILE NAME (NOT the numeric UID!) of the owner of an IFS object? Or the USER PROFILE NAME associated with a UID?

Or even better, the last user to modify a particular IFS object?

This is really starting to give me a headache. First, I look into using the chown() API to set the owner to whatever user is modifying a *STMF, only to find it only works if you're prived, or if you're the owner of the object. So then, since every change to the *STMFs in question involves rewriting the whole thing, I try deleting the *STMF before writing it. That solves the problem of SETTING the owner to whoever changed the file, but not of GETTING the *USRPRF.
