Using CL to automate User Profile creation

[jjsuthe]

Hello All, I have been searching for awhile trying to find any threads on the topic but haven't had any luck.

What i'm looking for is a way using CL to create user profiles for me. I am able to FTP a file up with the commands i'd like to run, but the commands are like 250 Chars long and the SEU has a char limit of 80.... Is there any way around this? Do i just have to split the command into several commands?

The command i'm using is

CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(XXXXXXXX) PASSWORD(XXXXXXX) INLPGM(XXXXXXXX/XXXXX) INLMNU(*LIBL/XXXXXXXXXX) LMTCPB(*YES) TEXT('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX') SPCAUT(*splctl) JOBD(QGPL/XXXXXXXXXX) GRPPRF(XXXXXXXXXX) OWNER(*GRPPRF) DLVRY(*BREAK) OUTQ(QGPL/XXXXXXXXXX)

I would need it to run this command at least 100 times. Also some kind of results outfile would be nice too.


I would much appreciate any input!

Thanks

Re: Using CL to automate User Profile creation

Maybe the following facts will help you.

1. Source physical files can have a record length of up to 32,766 bytes, so you should be able to create a source physical file that is long enough for your commands.

2. SEU can handle a maximum record length of 240. RDi can handle larger record lengths, but I don't know how large. I used it to edit a source physical file with a record length of 512.

3. The CL compiler reads more than 80 positions of a source record. I assume it reads the entire record. I don't know what the maximum length is, but it can handle the CRTUSRPRF command in your post.

4. You can continue CL commands from one line to the next. End a line with a hyphen to continue with the first column of the next line. End with a plus to continue with the first non-blank of the next line.

HTH.

Re: Using CL to automate User Profile creation

The simplest solution is to make it into multiple lines:

[COLOR=#333333]CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(XXXXXXXX) + 
        PASSWORD(XXXXXXX) +
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]        [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]INLPGM(XXXXXXXX/XXXXX) +
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]        [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]INLMNU(*LIBL/XXXXXXXXXX) +
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]        [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]LMTCPB(*YES) + 
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]        [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]TEXT('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX') +
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]        [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]SPCAUT(*splctl) +
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]        [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]JOBD(QGPL/XXXXXXXXXX) +
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]        [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]GRPPRF(XXXXXXXXXX) +
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]        [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]OWNER(*GRPPRF) +
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]        [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]DLVRY(*BREAK) +
[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]        [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]OUTQ(QGPL/XXXXXXXXXX) [/COLOR]

Have you determined what you'll do with the file while it's on your server? Are you intending to "execute" the commands? Or will you compile into a CL program and run it?

Any reason you don't just run the commands from your PC, e.g., by feeding the file into RMTCMD?
