Question

See more:

I am on an AS400 system, so when I have to get a data report from AS400 I just login into my user account and select the relevant report for example.

1. Daily Sales Report

Then hit enter and the query shall run , and I will transfer data from iseries, adding the library then select the query file and export into excel.
Now if I have no access to the specific user logon is there any command where I will just enter the query name and library from other user so that I will be able to run the same query as the user has. In my case the lib is paydata and the query name is dsreport.

What I have tried:

This is not an IBM support forum, and this question has nothing to do with software development.

I'd suggest you try a AS400 site, or IBM Support[^]

But ... I'd say it's unlikely you will be able to do what you want to: security policies generally mean that User A can't access User B information or data, and vice versa.

With a name like that it could be a spam set-up or test.

Query has four commands, which can be entered from any command line:
v STRQRY brings up the Query menu.
v WRKQRY brings up the Work with Queries display.
v Run Query (RUNQRY) runs an existing query, or you can use it to run a default query. This command
can also be embedded in CL programs so that you could, for example, run several queries overnight.
