RE: How to get the current user ID after sign on to AS400

["Fred Kulack" <kulack@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A tidbit of information that may or may not effect the question you're
asking.

For connections with SQL naming (JDBC default), the default schema
(library) for
accessing non-qualified SQL resources (for example, table "foo" in "select
* from foo")
is the schema (library) with the same name as the user that has connected.
I.e. "select * from foo" would be understood to be "select * from
USER.foo")

So, if someone was doing this (retrieve user ID and set
some library) for SQL purposes only, and its appropriate for the
users to simply use libraries with the same name as their
user ID, the SQL engine does this for you already.

Dunno if that helps or if you care. 8-)

In every single ethnic, religious or racial group, there are a
very few truly evil people. For each of those people there
are many, many, many good people.
Assuming anything (evilness or capability for evil) about the
particular group is bigotry and idiocy. Don't do it.  -- Me
