Hello,

Fn'Sprintf$ has the ability to substitute in the username with %u, but it uses the Windows/ATE username. We need the actual username in A-Shell. I was going to add another format code to our copy of Fn'Sprintf$, but thought it might be something other developers would value. Jack, would you be willing to let this change come into the soslib repo? If so, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what the syntax/format code should be?

Thanks,
John Andreasen

I'm glad to see someone using the SOSLIB and taking the trouble to suggest improvements!

Indeed, %u returns the Windows/ATE username (if applicable). After reviewing the code and your suggestion, I decided to just go ahead and implement a new variable %l (perhaps suggesting the mnemonic "login") which ignores the Windows/ATE login and returns the A-Shell application/server login. (I made a few other minor improvements and cleanups at the same time.)

I've posted the updated fnsprintf.bsi to the SOSLIB repository. (The first link will only be valid until the next update; but the second link should be reasonably permanent, from which point you can drill down to the 907010 directory and fnsprintf.bsi file.)

Thank you! It is great that something like the SOSLIB exists. It is a great community resource. Our goal was to use this in logging, so this will work well.
