Manu, The INTERNAL option looks promising for what I need. I do read manuals but somehow missed it.
It doesn't solve the "One user at a time" issue but will make parsing the output easier. Your other suggestions may be useful, too. Thanks to you and the others that responded.

Hi group, You can use uv provided subroutine !GET.USERS; search the uvdoc. If you use in basic EXECUTE "PORT.STATUS INTERNAL" CAPTURING VAR you get the port.status output in a dynamic array VAR ; @am,@vm You can also use in basic VAR=SYSTEM(1301) which return a dynamic Array, each attribute has 4 values: v1: Userno, v2:effective user name, v3: pid, v4: login type similar to what PORT.STATUS would show. Undocumented, but used by APP.PROGS GET.USERS.B No specials ; on uv. I hope this help.
