Sorry, I missed that detail. I figured it was about querying the user's OMVS segment.
So I went to OMVS and issued 'whoami'. The result is totally absurd. It shows the default started task userid. Not me at all. Now maybe this is the already mentioned issue of displaying the first userid that has the user's UID. Useless. . .
