    Mary Beth,

    You might be better off using a DO mode script rather than a SCRIPT
    mode script.  A SCRIPT mode script emulates your keystrokes but is
    rather painful and error prone.  I suspect you already know that,
    however.  ;')

    The easiest way to make this rather sad change could be as simple as:

    FOR PROFIL WITH .DEPART EQS "SAD" THEN DO -
     GET #USER = .USER\\-
     WRITE CHANGE PROFIL USER=#USER,QUOTA="500"

    This assumes that the affected users all have SAD as their department
    name.

    If you can't get at a way to group the users in that way then you could
    just have a series of statements like:

    WRITE CHANGE PROFIL USER="SEKURSKI.MARYBETH",QUOTA="500"

    This approach assumes that you have a list of user names in text
    somewhere.

    Yet another approach would be to create a UPD to do the dastardly deed:

    .FUNCTION WRITE CHANGE PROFIL USER=$SM_ACCOUNT,QUOTA="500"

    Creating this as one of the F names (like F20) would allow you to
    select the user name ($SM_ACCOUNT) and then invoking the UDP by hitting
    the proper F key.

    Have fun,
    don

Mary Beth.

	You could us something like the following :-

	Login to ALL-IN-1 MANAGER account

	At CHOICE field type

		<FOR PROFIL DO WRITE CHANGE PROFIL .%KEY=.USER, QUOTA=500

	Note. If you need to be more selective then you'll need to modify the
	command. For example :-

		<FOR PROFIL WITH .USER = "A" ...

		Just gets the users who's names begin with A

		<FOR PROFIL WITH .USER == "FRED" ...

		Just user FRED

		<FOR PROFIL WITH .DEPART == "FINANCE"

		Just the FINANCE people 


		etc, etc ...

	Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Iain.

Don's answer is better than mine ...

    	Well I'd take yet another approach! I'd take a copy of the index
    	form in System Management, MUA I, and add a new option, XSQ
    	multiple set doc quota. Copy the named data from one of the
    	other multiple select options and put in the WRITE CHANGE PROFIL
    	from the previous replies. You can test it by just selecting
    	one account, and then doing XSQ. When it all works, you can go
    	through the PROFILE and select the victim users, and do an XSQ
    	to set all their quotas. You also then have an option to set them
    	back when they complain to you manager... :-)

    I believe you could also do this:
    
    MGT MUA I 
    Select some accounts
    GE (global edit)
    
    There is a field on this form to change document quota.  I can't check
    this out, because I don't have access to a 2.4 Manager account anymore, 
    but I know it was there in 2.3.

        Global Edit seems the best bet. It was there in 2.3 was gone 
        in 2.4 and is back in 3.0.
        
        Now you see it - now you don't !

        Upgrade.... :-)

    
    
    	Thank you all for the hints and suggestions on the
    	way to change my quotas.  Users aren't too thrilled
    	about it but if they want their accounts transferred
    	they will have to live with it for a short time.
    
    	Again thank you.
    
    	Mary Beth

    Hope you don't mind me moving it here where it makes more sense.
