RE: Mass change a group of user profiles

I would use SQL to generate the list.

Instead of selecting the user name, you have the query output generate a IBM Command to do the update.


SELECT 'CL: CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(' || AUTHORIZATION_NAME|| ') LMTDEVSSN(*YES);' FROM QSYS2.USER_INFO WHERE AUTHORIZATION_NAME LIKE '%RF' ;

Put the query output result into an open iAccess IBM SQL GUI tool window run it.

The "CL:" allows the IBM SQL GUI to run a command similar to passing the value to QCMDEXEC.

You can just run all and it will execute each command.

Subject: Mass change a group of user profiles

First of all, this is not really an RPG specific question (unless I have to write a program to do it).

I have large group of users (100+) where I need to change LMTDEVSSN to *YES. The commonality is that all of the user names END with "RF".

WRKUSRPRF wont' get that for me.
A select over QSYS2.USER_INFO will allow me to get the users I want to change, but it's an SQL view so I can't simply update it.

I would appreciate any ideas.

Thanks,
Greg
