Swapping user

[Bruce.Wilson]

Hello,
I am using a trial version of Valence 6 and trying to call an RPG program on the server that needs the IBMi user id to create a copy of a sales order. The backend program fails because the user id is coming over as QTMHHTTP. I tried retrieving the IBMi user id by including vvUtility_getCurrentUser(UserNum:IBMiUser), then using vvUtility_ovrUsr('1':*blank:IBMiUser) to override QTMHHTTP to the IBMi user id. I get a '1' response after _ovrusr, but the RPG program still shows QTMHHTTP as the user. Can someone give me an example of how this works.
Thanks,
Bruce Wilson

First...how are you logging in? Are you using an IBM I username to login?

Also, how is your RPG program pulling in the user ID?

Hi Sean,
I am using my IBMi userid to log into Valence. When I debugged the RPG program, everything looked good, but when I called my order printing program after overriding the user id, it was still QTMHHTTP. I'll go thru the tip that Robert posted.
Thanks,
Bruce
