RE: Newbie question - Getting the userid with RPGLE

Douglas,

What you are looking for is using the Program Status Data Structure.

Note there are two fields: 254-263 User Name From user profile and 358-367
Current User Profile.

The latter is important if your program swaps to other user profiles.  If no
swap, it will be the same.  If a swap has been done, it will be the name
swapped too.  Thus, using the latter is probably the better way to go.

HTH,
