By Richard Cranston, search400 member If you have a lot of computers in your organization then it's likely that you won't always log on to your home machine. And if you're doing lots of diagnostic work, you may sign on as someone other than yourself. So who and where are you, really? This tip from reader Richard Cranston gives one easy way to figure that out. If you have a way to get the same information, why not submit it at http://search400.techtarget.com/tipsPrize/0,289492,sid3_prz751399_cts751376,00.html? You might get yourself a prize in the bargain. ---------------------------------------------------- Due to multiple AS/400's, user sign-on's, and workstations I use everyday to perform various tasks, this very simple command sends a message stating what system I am signed on. There is never a day I don't use it. Code: 1. Create/Compile CLP source program 'DU': PGM DCL VAR(&USER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) DCL VAR(&SYS) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(8) RTVUSRPRF RTNUSRPRF(&USER) RTVNETA SYSNAME(&SYS) SNDPGMMSG MSG('You are logged on as' *BCAT &USER *TCAT + ' on the' *BCAT &SYS *CAT 'system.') ENDPGM 2. Create cmd source 'DU': CMD PROMPT('Display User Sign-On') 3. Create cmd 'DU': CRTCMD CMD(DU) PGM(DU) 4. I suggest creating the objects in library QGPL. Change object owner/authority accordingly to your requirements. At any command line, enter DU and press enter. ================================ OTHER ADMINISTRATOR TIPS ================================ Search400 members also submitted the following administrator tips recently: AS/400 network monitor Submitted by Cory Schewaga http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci756670,00.html Fast viewing of files with PDM and RUNQRY Submitted by Derrick Kostiner http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci756676,00.html Job status monitoring Submitted by Jozsef Petrovszki http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci755877,00.html Track jobs by queue the easy way Submitted by Dave Collins http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci755874,00.html ======================================================== TELL US WHAT YOU THINK ======================================================== Did you like these tips?
