Sounds like you're using odbc? If so... no that isn't what this
is for. I just needed a way to get the current user so that
I could print some special messages on the job traveler.
If the userid is not that of our scheduler then the traveler
says "Replacement Traveler". It can look up any dos variable
that you may need though.

I needed to get user id's (from the network login) to Crystal
Reports. So in our global login script I set a DOS environment
variable equal to the users login name. Then I wrote a dll
to read any DOS environment variable. Copy the dll to the
/vantage/dll directory on your vantage server and also to
the /windows/crystal directory on your machine you develope
crystal reports on. It will be in "Additional Functions".

Call as - UFGetDOSEnv (string)
So if anyone else can use it, I uploaded to egroups - u2lskel.dll

Hi Joe,

This sounds interesting. What do you need the user id's for in Crystal? We don't use logins to log onto progress, but always get the login screen when first running a Crystal report. Does your method eliminate the login screen?

I needed to get user id's (from the network login) to Crystal
Reports. So in our global login script I set a DOS environment
variable equal to the users login name. Then I wrote a dll
to read any DOS environment variable. Copy the dll to the
/vantage/dll directory on your vantage server and also to
the /windows/crystal directory on your machine you develope
crystal reports on. It will be in "Additional Functions".

Call as - UFGetDOSEnv (string)
