%%EXTWTR

The user name can be retrieved from the External Writer name. Format:

DO USER = %%EXTWTR[(startpos,length)]

where

• startpos is the starting (first column) position of the extract
• length is the number of characters to extract

Example EXTWTR

ON CLASS ABC EXTWTR $* . . .

        DO USER = %%EXTWTR(2,4)

Note: $* in ON CLASS parameter EXTWTR is a mask resulting in decollation of all outputs with a writer name starting with $.

If the external writer name is empty, the original job name is used.
