The name of the SPI Server user who accesses the SAS environment is passed to the environment where SAS runs.

The values of this property can thus be used for conditional initialization logic in the SAS autoexec script.

The following system variable provides the user name to the SAS process:

You can use the SAS function sysget() to retrieve system variables.

For example:

/* Store system variables into SAS macro variables: */ 

usrname = sysget("TBPC_USER_NAME"); 

/* Use the SAS macro variables to code logic: */ 

............. 

............. 

/* End of logic */ 

When the Developer tool initiates a connection to the SAS machine, the system variables that are unavailable for client connections contain no meaningful information. The system variable values default to

"_NONE_"
