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

It would. Adopted authority is not equivalent to Current User.

Current User is about changing to another user profile via API. Like some
server jobs do (e.g. ODBC) to effectively "become" the user who's issuing
the request.

Just wrote a small program with:

D PgmSts Sds Qualified
D CurJob 10a Overlay( PgmSts: 244 )
D UsrPrf 10a Overlay( PgmSts: 254 )
D JobNbr 6a Overlay( PgmSts: 264 )
D CurUsr 10a Overlay( PgmSts: 358 )

And it had the same values for UsrPrf and CurUsr even when it ran with
adopted authority.

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).

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
