Re: RTVJOBA command

["Peter Vidal" <Peter_Vidal@xxxxxxxx>]

At least what I have found in V5R2:

USER parameter:
Specifies, if the user name is returned, the name of the CL variable that
receives the name of the user profile associated with the job when the job was
started. The user name is the second part of the qualified job name. The
variable must be a character variable with a minimum length of 10 characters. If
the user name has fewer characters than the variable allows, the value is padded
on the right with blanks.

CURUSER parameter:
Specifies, if the user name is returned, the 10-character CL variable that
receives the name of the current user profile. If the current user name has
fewer characters than the variable allows, the value is padded on the right with
blanks.

I think that the basic difference here is that USER gets the user profile
associated with the job and CURUSER gets the user profile associated at that
specific point on the thread.  If you notice, on the online explanation of the
command, in Table 1 (Attribute, scope and Thread safety) you will see they are
different in terms of the scope.
