Hi everyone,

I'm using the 'set to profile handle' api in a job to temporarily become
another user.  

A small issue is that RPG programs called after the profile swap still
report the original user in the status data structure, not the current
user.  I currently have to call a CL program to do a RTVJOBA CURUSER to
retrieve the current user name.  

Question: Is there a direct API call that will retrieve the current
user?

Thank you.
