Robert,

Our Novell Administrator inserted this code into the login script.

DOS SET long_name = %login_name%

I'm not sure about the exact syntax but this is more or less it. What this does is sets each user's
login name to a environmental variable of your choice, such as "long_name" in this example.

So whoever logs into this machine, his "long_name" is set to his login name.

We then use the VFP GETENV() function to retrieve the information like this.

l_userid = GETENV("long_name")

Another solution is to purchase a third party product like GPLIB that has these functions
build in and don't require anything placed into the Novell login script.
