- SDS positions 254-263 will give you the wrong user profile in a web environment.What you’ll want to use is positions 358-367. This is the “current user profile” of the job which will give you who signed in.

When running programs within the HTTP subsystem, generated spooled files are
assigned to a separate job. This will require modifying certain logic that depends on
OVRPRTF or CPYSPLF commands.
Data structures based on display file record formats will not have the same layout as in
the original application. Programs that use such data structures would have to be
modified.
In converted programs, certain INFDS (Information Data Structure) fields may not be
available or will provide different information compared to the green-screen environment.
These programs will have to be modified.
Use of special values, such as *DATE to retrieve the current date may not work as
expected. *DATE represents the job running under the HTTP server.
