The Glb.AltUser built-in segment attribute is not supported on applications deployed to Windows. It is only valid for MCP-based systems using non ROC TP Reports.

Glb.AltUser associates an alternative MCP-based user name with output from Terminal Printer Spooler (TPS) Reports, for security purposes. You might sign on to TPS with the user name that is stored in Glb.User or Glb.AltUser.

Glb.AltUser might be used for Shadow Reports, in the form Glb.AltUserx, where x is the one-character Shadow Report designator (A through Z).

Once output from a Report has been produced, the value of Glb.AltUser remains until the next Release command or end-of-job, when the most recent change to its value is effected.

Glb.AltUser has a default value of spaces.
