The USER statement specifies the attributes to be assigned to specified users of the IBM Session Manager system.
It can also be used to override certain System and Profile characteristics, facilities, and applications, or provide additional parameters to those specified on a PROFILE statement that is to be used by a user. By using a PROFILE statement to define the basic characteristics available to a number of users, and specifying only those parameters that are to be unique for the user defined by a USER statement, both administrative effort and storage usage is reduced.
If a user is to access the Eclipse PC front-end, then a USER statement must be defined for that user.
