Dave: This is an example of how I do that:
/* CHKID: Determine if a userid exists */
Parse Source . . exnm .
exmsg = '*' exnm':'
exerr = exmsg 'ERROR -'
Parse UPPER Arg uid .
If uid = '' | uid = '?' Then Do
Say exmsg 'Determine if a userid exists'
Say
Say 'Command Format:' exnm 'userid'
Say
Exit '99'
End
cpcmd = 'CP LINK' uid
Parse Value Diagrc(8,cpcmd) With xrc . cpresp '15'x
Select
When xrc = '22' Then Say exmsg 'Userid' uid 'exists.'
When xrc = '53' Then Say exerr 'Userid' uid 'does NOT exist.'
Otherwise Do
Say exerr exerr 'Unknown response to:' cpcmd '-rc='xrc
Say exerr cpresp
Exit xrc
End
End
Exit

Hello,
I have an EXEC that I wish to use to TRANS the console files from
another userid for a given period of time. I would like to check if the
userid
given the EXEC actually exists.
I looked at the CMS QUERY which does stack the results, but userid is
not part of the CMS query. The CP Query does let me know about the user,
but doesn't stack the results.
The CP MSG (and SMSG) & IND USER don't care about the userid, and an
invalid userid is always NOT LOGGED ON.
It looks like I almost need to spool and close my console to get the
results of my CP Query. I suppose I could just issue the TRANS against an
invalid userid and let it fail.
Any thoughts from the group?
Thank you, Dave Hansen
