>I'm naive; enlighten me. In what cases does userid differ from OWNER? OWNER is, I believe, the userid that submits the job. Having never used OWNER for anything, I can't truly say.
>How can the programmer control these independently? USER= & PASSWORD= are valid JOB CARD parms. >Rexx has a userid() function; JCL has &SYSUID. Does either Rexx or JCL have a function or variable to query OWNER? I don't know. >Conversely, SDSF shows OWNER. If I scroll right far enough, will I see userid? I don't know.
