Re: Difference Between What Ops Nav and WRKACTJOB Is Reporting

Dave,

You are right on the mark.  By selecting user as a column, it matches
WRKACTJOB.  The Current User column is very handy for the QZDASOINIT jobs.
I can see the actual user vs. QUSER.

Thanks for responding.  That answers my questions.

Regards,

Mike Shaw
