You can specify work attribute (WORKATTR) segments in user profiles that are set up to support APPC requests running under an APPC transaction program. WORKATTR segments include SYSOUT and account information for the users.

An installation can set the default characteristics (including authorities) for these users by defining WORKATTR segments in the user profiles of these users. To do this, issue the ADDUSER or ALTUSER command with the WORKATTR operand.

To define or change information in the WORKATTR segment of a user profile, including your own, you must have the SPECIAL attribute or at least UPDATE authority to the segment through field-level access checking. To display information in the WORKATTR segment of a user profile, you must have the SPECIAL attribute or at least READ authority to the segment through field-level access checking. For more information, see Field-level access checking.
