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

[Luis Rodriguez <luisro58@xxxxxxxxx>]

Birgitta,

I think that the manual is quite clear on that: 358 --> 367 Current user
profile name. Nevertheless, I find interesting that it also states that
position 254 has the "User name from the user profile", just between Job
name (pos 244) and Job Number (pos 264).

HTH,
