The program will still work for you. If you're going to validate the
password, you're going to have to send it the user id you're validating
for. If you already know the ID, you don't have to ask for it.

Hi

Thanks for your reply, i have an application where in i need to validate
password when user is doing some thing important, as this will be noted as
his digital signature,
So i really dont need user id, as i already know the user id, just ask him
to enter his password and validate it, if it is valid move on else give
error.
But this 'QSYGETPH' is also cool, and will use it in a different project
where i need the user to enter his user id, password

I just had to write one. Here's a copy of the source:

Just pass the program the user id and password fields and if the return
code comes back as BAD, the profile or password is invalid. The source
to
IS911R5 follows. It's use to release the Profile Handle. I'm not sure
why
you have to do this, but IBM recommends you do.

*IS911R5 - THIS API VALIDATES AN AS400 USERNAME AND PASSWORD:

That's it.
