Re: Current User Job Attribute and Current User in Program Status Data Structure

Birgitta,

I think that the manual is quite clear on that: 358 --> 367 Current user
profile name. Nevertheless, I find interesting that it also states that
position 254 has the "User name from the user profile", just between Job
name (pos 244) and Job Number (pos 264).

HTH,

Hi,



Can someone enlighten me! We have some discussions.

I used the current user out of the program status data structure (position
358) instead of calling a CL Program that does nothing else than RTVJOBA
CURUSER(&X).

My colleague insists I have to call this CL program because it is not the
same.



Can someone enlighten me? Is the current user (job attribute) the same as
the current user within the PGMSDS or not?



Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
