Re: Profiles beginning with special chars

To your original question then.
National Language support issues might be one.
If you have anything which concatenates the user profile on to something
some assumptions might be made. For example DSP01@USER could be assumed to
have something to do with email.
I wouldn't use & instead as that would cause confusion with CL variables.
I'm an idiot with regex but would 123456/@USER/DSP01 be an issue?

I am already putting the CRTUSRPRF in a program. Actually it will be
CPYUSRPRF in TAATOOL and then CHGUSRPRF for things that need to be

My question is if there is a reason to not have profiles that are
templates begin with an @.

There's also the possibility of duplicating the CRTUSRPRF to CRTUSRxxxx
and customizing the options for the various templates.
Or burying the CRTUSRPRF in a program which you pick a 'template' and it
sets the parameters. This has the added advantage of doing other things
under the covers. Like:
- adding appropriate authorization lists
- populating any menu driver file(s) with the appropriate options
- other tasks as your shop needs.

I am creating a new process to assist my client's help desk with
profile creation. The current process is very convoluted and has to go

away.

For the new process, I am proposing using "template" profiles to be
copied to generate the new profile. I am thinking about beginning the
template profiles with an @ as in @PGMR, @USER, @QA, @HELPDESK, etc.
Then I can do sql to pull all of the @ profiles to provide a list of
available templates for them to choose from.



Does anyone know if there are any problems with creating profiles that
begin with an @? The system allows it but I didn't know if there was
a reason not to.
