Years ago in a small shop with no RACF add on tools were faced with the same
challenge. Various support groups knew the user profile but wanted to look
up the name. No doubt many various apps were developed over the years to
read the RACF type 0200 record, or some derivation of it.
Being the lazy type we used Quickref and defined our "ID/name" dataset as a
"user defined message database" (that's as close as I can remember the
actual term from Chicago Soft).
Anyway, once defined as a QW database our "ID/name" dataset behaved like any
MVS message, position the cursor over the user id and type in QW.

Attached, is the WHOIS PROC that we use. It works for both 6 & 7 character
User IDs. That is as long as the referenced data set is kept up-to-date.
Hope this helps,
