Dear Sir/Madam



Could any tell me how to get OS username in Oracle Form (Without the user
of Windows API) ? Is there any Oracle package procedure or function to do
so ? 



Also, I know that there is a system view V$SESSION having column OSUSER
(That is the login name of the user in the OS).  But this column sometimes
show the actual OS username but sometimes fail to do so and display OraUser
only. Do you know the reason ?



I'm a Oracle Developer in HK with E-mail address : dickwong_at_hk.super.net



Thank you very much.



Regard,


DWong.
