I've got an ILE RPG service program that's registered as an SQL UDF. It's a censorship function, used to censor a view, so that (for example) sales reps see only the accounts they're supposed to see.

I actually wrote the thing months ago (it hasn't been touched since this past September), and so I'm just now refamiliarizing myself with how it works.

But it's determining what user to base its pass/censor decisions on from this variable:

D myUser s 10a inz(*user)

Seems to work great from a terminal session, whether I'm using native record level access, or a STRSQL session. But I'm wondering whether, when the view is accessed from a BIRT report, via JDBC, this is going to pick up the user making the query, or the user the QZDASOINIT job is running under.

Another thing: I've got some initialization code in there that, at least in theory, only needs to execute when the program is first called, and when the user changes. Currently, the service program runs in the *CALLER activation group; would I be better off in a named activation group?
