Re: Programatically check for an IBM supplied profile
Hi Ken,
When we packaged up our APRM product, I told IBM that I intended to use a
Q
library (from a SAVLIB *ALLUSR perspective), and our person from IBM said
to me that they can't control their own Q names. So I said that I have a
Q
name you will never use, and they said, yeah, what's that? Our library is
called QBARSA.

That wouldn't have worked Al. People with names like Quentin or Queen or
such would have complained then. A better solution would have been some
kind of system state identification on the profiles the IBM
supplies/requires.

Re: Programatically check for an IBM supplied profile
With all due respect, anyone can create a user profile starting with the
letter "Q". Had hindsight been 20/20, maybe IBM would have not allowed us
to create user objects starting with the letter "Q".

Mike,
I would say that any user profile beginning with 'Q' is a
system profile.
If you have any other kind of profile beginning with Q (the
"wrong" way :-) ) you could do a DSPOBJD to all the *USRPRF
objects in QSYS to an *OUTFILE and check the ODCRTU field
(Created by...). For IBM created objects it should say
'*IBM'.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Luis Rodriguez

subject: Programatically check for an IBM supplied
profile
I'm fuzzy on this but I could have sworn there was a way
to
programmatically check for profiles that were IBM
supplied. I want to
do some mass changes/updates but I want to specifically
bypass IBM
supplied profiles. I've looked through all my programs
and notes and
can't find anything on the subject.
Am I not remembering correctly or does anyone have any
idea on how to do
a check like this in CL?
