Re: Current User Job Attribute and Current User in Program Status Data Structure

That should be simple enough to test. I don't have the answer (or time to
play with it) but my guess is that they are exactly the same.

Thanks,

Hi,



Can someone enlighten me! We have some discussions.

I used the current user out of the program status data structure (position
358) instead of calling a CL Program that does nothing else than RTVJOBA
CURUSER(&X).

My colleague insists I have to call this CL program because it is not the
same.



Can someone enlighten me? Is the current user (job attribute) the same as
the current user within the PGMSDS or not?



Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
