RE: Hoping there is an answer to this.

Mike

Use the API then.  If John Smith was signed on to QPADEV0001, job 123456
and submits the report to run as REPORTUSR, then the API will show you
that the report was submitted to run by 123456/JSMITH/QPADEV0001.

My understanding of what you want is for user ID JSMITH to appear on the
report instead of REPORTUSR, for example.  If that's the case then you
can use the API.

If you want to change the user that the "server" job runs under, then
you would need to make use of the QSYGETPH and QWTSETP API's to change
the profile, the following link

you may find useful.

I would want to change the user. I can easily figure out who the user
is.
