Years ago in a small shop with no RACF add on tools were faced with the same challenge. Various support groups knew the user profile but wanted to look up the name. No doubt many various apps were developed over the years to read the RACF type 0200 record, or some derivation of it.
Being the lazy type we used Quickref and defined our "ID/name" dataset as a "user defined message database" (that's as close as I can remember the actual term from Chicago Soft). Anyway, once defined as a QW database our "ID/name" dataset behaved like any MVS message, position the cursor over the user id and type in QW. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Duane Shields Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 9:14 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: WHOIS Attached, is the WHOIS PROC that we use.
