RE: Profiles beginning with special chars

I am already putting the CRTUSRPRF in a program. Actually it will be CPYUSRPRF in TAATOOL and then CHGUSRPRF for things that need to be different such as OUTQ.

My question is if there is a reason to not have profiles that are templates begin with an @.

There's also the possibility of duplicating the CRTUSRPRF to CRTUSRxxxx and customizing the options for the various templates.
Or burying the CRTUSRPRF in a program which you pick a 'template' and it sets the parameters. This has the added advantage of doing other things under the covers. Like:
- adding appropriate authorization lists
- populating any menu driver file(s) with the appropriate options
- other tasks as your shop needs.

I am creating a new process to assist my client's help desk with
profile creation. The current process is very convoluted and has to go away.



For the new process, I am proposing using "template" profiles to be
copied to generate the new profile. I am thinking about beginning the
template profiles with an @ as in @PGMR, @USER, @QA, @HELPDESK, etc.
Then I can do sql to pull all of the @ profiles to provide a list of
available templates for them to choose from.



Does anyone know if there are any problems with creating profiles that
begin with an @? The system allows it but I didn't know if there was
a reason not to.
