Re: API to retrieve 'current user'?

["Carsten Flensburg" <flensburg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Rich,

The job information APIs - like the QUSRJOBI API, format JOBI0600, decimal
offset 92 - can give you the 'Current user' of a thread/job.

The QUSRJOBI API is documented here:
http://as400bks.rochester.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/apis/qusrjobi.htm

Best regards,
Carsten Flensburg
