Re: Is there an easy way to retrieve the user-ID in an iseries COBOL ILE pgm?

IBM gave us the ACTIVE_JOB_INFO table function that can return this info.
See:

This requires a v7 release, I believe.

v7r3: Base
v7r2: SF99702 Level 5; Enhanced: SF99702 Level 9
v7r1: SF99701 Level 34; Enhanced: SF99701 Level 38

I have seen two methods:


1) Pass it into the pgm as a parm

2) Use the PSDS and force an error as described in

Is there a better, cleaner, more intuitive method?
