Re: WEB400 Digest, Vol 6, Issue 58

1.  The user profile is not already disabled when the user begins the 
login process.  I've used my login and acheived the same results.

2.  Management  doesn't want to add the overhead in development and 
maintenance to use validation lists and programmatically controlled login. 
 (i.e. The boss said 'No')


Thanks anyway!

Is the iSeries user profile getting(already) disabled??

Maybe you should use validation lists in place of "real" profiles.
