UserID Error

Understanding the UserIdError exception.

 

When the Running Userid is being set through an “Admin” object constructor or the set_running_userid() function on an “Admin” object, a UserIdError will be raised if the specified z/OS userid is not a string between 1 to 8 characters in length. A UserIdError can be handled as follows.

Python Script

from pyracf import UserAdmin
from pyracf import UserIdError

user_admin = UserAdmin()

try:
    user_admin.set_running_userid("squidwrdtest")
except UserIdError as e:
    print(e.message)

Console Output

Unable to run as userid 'SQUIDWRDTEST'. Userid must be a string value between 1 to 8 characters in length.
