Re: OS User using SQR

[Jamie Harris <JHarris@FCC.CC.MD.US>]

I'm sure you saw the posts about environment variables.  Those would work, but 
be aware that it's not very hard for a user to fake a different username.

At the DOS prompt:
SET USERNAME=BOB  would tell your SQR that my username is BOB when it's not.  

If the intent of storing the username is for any kind of security tracking or 
anything, you'll need to find another way.  If there isn't a concern with the 
user spoofing their ID then this is the easiest way to go.  If there isn't a 
variable being set by the OS and/or network client (here our Netware login name 
is stored in its own variable - NWUSERNAME) you might be able to get something 
added to a login script somewhere that will add it.  

Good luck!

Hi Everyone,

Can we get the OS user id from SQR into a variable?

I am using call system using within SQR but I need to store the OS user
into a variable within SQR.


Any thoughts?


Thanks,
Praveen
