Re: API to retrieve 'current user'?

Be careful using that ... RPG only updates the job, user ID and many
other fields when the program is initially loaded. The only way to
refresh the PSDS is to end the program *INLR=*ON and return to the
caller. Then call the program again. (so sayeth Bob Cozzi on
http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200208/msg00509.html).

So if the current user changes while the program is running, the PSDS
won't necessarily be correct.

That's why I always like to use the QUSRJOBI api.
