Micro Focus COBOL uses a combination of DISPLAY and ACCEPT statements to retrieve environment variables (wherein you will find the login name). Look in your documentation for ENVIRONMENT-NAME and ENVIRONMENT-VALUE. Tom Morrison

Actually I don't think you can do an accept from a file. Choices would be to open, read and close the file OR to pass the login name as a command line parameter when invoking the program.

eg. MYPROG.exe MYPARM and then the program could accept the value from the command line. Syntax is ACCEPT data-name FROM COMMAND-LINE. the data-name would need to be defined in working storage. Clive
