We use TAATOOLS to do this all the time, for an OnDemand (RDARS)
application. 
See code snippets below.

/* Retrieve the spools user data */                                  
             TAATOOL/RTVSPLFA SPLF(&FILE) JOB(&JOBNBR/&USER/&JOB) +  
                          SPLNBR(&SPLNBR) FORMTYPE(&FORMTYPE) +      
                          USRDTA(&USRDTA)                            
                                                                     
/* Save the user data so we can reset it after we do the CDSTORE */  
             CHGVAR     VAR(&SAVUSRDTA) VALUE(&USRDTA)               

... More stuff

/* Change user data to represent the hospital number       */ 
             CHGSPLFA   FILE(&FILE) JOB(&JOBNBR/&USER/&JOB) + 
                          SPLNBR(&SPLNBR) +                   
                          USRDTA(&USRDTA)

What are you trying to accomplish by changing the USER portion?
