What are the pros and cons of running a batch job under a user profile
different from that of the person who submits the job using the USER parm of
SBMJOB?

I'm interested in doing a cpytoimpf to a directory on an NT server visible
in QNTC but only accessible by a dummy userid that exists both on the 400
and the NT box.  I know it works, but I'm curious about the security
ramifications as well as the things I haven't thought about at all.  The
benefit to me would be total control of a data export process including
kicking off the process that updates the NT application.

TIA
