How to get logged on userid

[RPEN]

How do I retrieve the userid of the currently logged on user? Do I use the Environ function? Then I need to hard code the location of the UserName variable in the env table?

Thanks

Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

Cool, thanks. I'll likely have more simple questions as I'm totally new to Windows based programming (if you can call it that). Long time mainframer here.

Just bear in mind that the variable, UserName = Environ("USERNAME"), is the Windows Network logon id. If the user id for the Mainframe App is different, then that variable wont work.
