Re: RPGLE Stored procedure user.

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kevin,

current user is relatively new...heck prior to v5r4 WRKACTJOB just
showed the job user.

You may want to consider changing the name of the existing variable to
JOBUSER or some such, then reuse the existing name for the current
user field.... as for the most part if you want the user profile,
current user is what you want.  In a green screen program, they'd be
the same.

UNLESS, your applications themselves make use of the swap profile
APIs...then the swapped to profile shows up as the current user (which
is how the IBM host servers work)  You may be doing it for IFS
authority since the IFS doesn't support adopted authority.

HTH,
Charles
