Since I am not sure what you are looking for I can only repeat what others have stated.
Who - displays userid Whoami - displays uid from lookup > > see the whoami command description in z/OS UNIX System Services Command Reference Many have already indicated that perhaps some research would help you find your answer. Remember that the WHO and WHOAMI are provided. I am not sure you could modify them to do something different. However, you may be able to create your own command. Review the manuals for USS and see if you can create your own commands to do what you want. USS in z/OS is not that much different than any other Unix environment.
