AS400 user command

[Martin Folan]

Hi,
I am trying to find a command on the AS/400 that will just return the user
name of who is logged on,
a sort of "who am I" command.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

If you are wanting to run the command from the command line... the command
would be "DSPWSUSR" (Display workstation user). If you are running it from
a CLP... use the "RTVUSRPRF" (Retrieve user profile command) and use
"RTNUSRPRF" for the returned variable for the user ID. Your command would
look something like this:

RTVUSRPRF RTNUSRPRF(&USER)

Hope this was some help.

Or you can use RTVJOBA

Hi Martin,

Using DSPJOB will show the user on top of the screen.

If you need the value somewhere in a program, take a look at RTVJOBA (or at
the API).

Paul

For programming... refer to earlier replies. For use at some interactive session, the SysRqs-3 effects DSPJOB which displays the USER <ie. not CURUSER as from RTVJOBA> on the screen, and SysRqs-7 effects DSPWSUSR which displays the job name with the USER, and I would infer, also the Current user. Also there is no need for a command line for either request when via the System Request function.

Yes, the command is DSPUSRPRTI. This will give you the user profile of who
is logged on.
Hope this helps.(Hope its what you are looking for, anyway!)
