Changes to CHGACTPRFL command

The CHGACTPRFL command only allows you to specify individual user id's. Use Case: It would be very beneficial if the command allowed you to "wildcard" the USERID parameter field. For example: ABC* versus ABC123, etc.

Record/audit all user profile parameters/fields

We log all user profile changes into a database table. This works very well using the user profile exit points (QIBM_QSY_CHG_PROFILE etc). For some time we have decided to store additional information (eg. company number) in the user profile objec...
