Hi Susan,
Since the getenv() reads an environment variable, have you made sure that the environment variable is in fact there ? Try *Run Command*, which will run the command interpreter, then from the DOS window type SET. This will show all environment variables. The users login script is probably what is setting the environment variable to begin with, and may not be doing so. I am not a Novell user, so I can't tell you specifics of where to look. You might try SYS(0) to get user name also, or there are some earlier threads on how to use API to get user name.
