Scott,

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if, in a program, you swap profiles,
the 'current profile' subfield in the PSDS *in that program* isn't updated
to show the new profile (because the PSDS is only loaded when the program
initializes.

I suspect what Gary meant. But I could be wrong on that (as well).

Hi Gary,

You can use the QUSRJOBI API. If you perform a profile swap it will
not be reflected in the program status data structure. It will be
reflected in the job's information.

Sorry, this simply isn't true.

I find it odd that you'd say something like this after such luminaries
as Barbara Morris have already pointed out that RPG/400 will show the
current user profile in positions 254-263, and that others (including
Barbara) have pointed out that in ILE RPG, it's in positions 358-367.

So in either version of RPG, you can get the current user profile from
the PSDS, even in a swapped profile environment!
