Re: Programatically check for an IBM supplied profile

That wouldn't have worked Al. People with names like Quentin or Queen or
such would have complained then. A better solution would have been some
kind of system state identification on the profiles the IBM
supplies/requires.

Re: Programatically check for an IBM supplied profile







With all due respect, anyone can create a user profile starting with the
letter "Q". Had hindsight been 20/20, maybe IBM would have not allowed us
to create user objects starting with the letter "Q".

Mike,

I would say that any user profile beginning with 'Q' is a
system profile.

If you have any other kind of profile beginning with Q (the
"wrong" way :-) ) you could do a DSPOBJD to all the *USRPRF
objects in QSYS to an *OUTFILE and check the ODCRTU field
(Created by...). For IBM created objects it should say
'*IBM'.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Luis Rodriguez

subject: Programatically check for an IBM supplied
profile

I'm fuzzy on this but I could have sworn there was a way
to
programmatically check for profiles that were IBM
supplied. I want to
do some mass changes/updates but I want to specifically
bypass IBM
supplied profiles. I've looked through all my programs
and notes and
can't find anything on the subject.



Am I not remembering correctly or does anyone have any
idea on how to do
a check like this in CL?
