Here's a third method, whether these are cleaner/more intuitive is
debatable :)
For BATCH processing, I always include common copybooks to handle standard
print output (QPRINT) - which includes the following definitions in a
print "work area" copybook:
03 QUSRJOBI-Variables.
05 h1-RcvrVar.
10 filler pic s9(09) Binary.
10 filler pic s9(09) value 273 Binary.
10 h1-RvJobName pic x(10) value spaces.
10 h1-RvJobUser pic x(10) value spaces.
10 h1-RvJobNbr pic x(06) value spaces.
10 filler pic x(229).
10 filler pic x(10).
05 h1-LenRcvrVar pic s9(09) value 273 Binary.
05 h1-FmtName pic x(08) value 'JOBI0400'.
05 h1-QlJobName pic x(26) value '*'.
05 h1-IntJobId pic x(16) value ' '.
05 h1-ApiErr.
10 filler pic s9(09) value 272 Binary.
10 filler pic s9(09) Binary.
10 h1-AeMsgId pic x(07) value spaces.
10 filler pic x(01).
10 h1-AeMsgDta pic x(256) value spaces.
In a common call routine to print page headings, the User-Id is
retrieved on first call:
call 'QUSRJOBI' using h1-RcvrVar
h1-LenRcvrVar
h1-FmtName
h1-QlJobName
h1-IntJobId
h1-ApiErr
You then have access to the Job Name, Job Number and User-Id.
.
.
.
For Interactive programs, define the display area attributes under
Special-Names:
special-names. attribute-data is at-area.
Then define the layout of the attribute area. This is defined in the
Display File programming guide (setup as another copybook).
*---> Attribute Data
* copy copyatr of include suppress.
Here is the copybook contents (among other things):
01 atr-area global.
05 atr-pgm-devname pic x(10) value spaces.
05 atr-dev-desc pic x(10) value spaces.
05 atr-user-id pic x(10) value spaces.
05 atr-dev-class pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-dev-type pic x(06) value spaces.
05 atr-req-dev pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-acq-status pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-inv-status pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-data-status pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-disp-dim.
10 atr-nbr-rows pic s9(04) value +0 comp-4.
10 atr-nbr-cols pic s9(04) value +0 comp-4.
05 atr-disp-blink pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-off-status pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-disp-locn pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-disp-type pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-kbd-type pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-conv-status pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-sync-level pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-conv-used pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-rloc-name pic x(08) value spaces.
05 atr-llu-name pic x(08) value spaces.
05 atr-local-netid pic x(08) value spaces.
05 atr-rlu-name pic x(08) value spaces.
05 atr-remote-netid pic x(08) value spaces.
05 atr-mode pic x(08) value spaces.
05 atr-work-control pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-color-display pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-allow-grid pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-lu6-state pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-lu6-conv pic x(08) value spaces.
05 filler pic x(31) value spaces.
05 atr-calling-party.
10 atr-rem-nbrlen pic s9(04) value +0 comp-4.
10 atr-rem-nbrtyp pic x(02) value spaces.
10 atr-rem-nbrpln pic x(02) value spaces.
10 atr-rem-nbr pic x(40) value spaces.
10 filler pic x(04) value spaces.
10 atr-rem-sublen pic s9(04) value +0 comp-4.
10 atr-rem-subtyp pic x(02) value spaces.
10 atr-rem-subadr pic x(40) value spaces.
10 filler pic x(01) value spaces.
10 atr-call-type pic x(01) value spaces.
10 atr-rem-adrlen pic s9(04) value +0 comp-4.
10 atr-rem-addr pic x(40) value spaces.
10 filler pic x(04) value spaces.
10 atr-rem-extlen pic s9(04) value +0 comp-4.
10 atr-rem-exttyp pic x(01) value spaces.
10 atr-rem-extadr pic x(40) value spaces.
10 filler pic x(04) value spaces.
10 atr-x25-calltyp pic x(01) value spaces.
05 atr-txn-progname pic x(64) value spaces.
05 atr-lu6-protected.
10 atr-lu6-len pic s9(04) value +0 comp-4.
10 atr-net-qual pic x(17) value spaces.
10 atr-inst-nbr pic x(06) value spaces.
10 atr-seq-nbr pic s9(04) value +0 comp-4.
05 atr-lu6-unprotected.
10 atr-lu6-ulen pic s9(04) value +0 comp-4.
10 atr-net-uqual pic x(17) value spaces.
10 atr-inst-unbr pic x(06) value spaces.
10 atr-seq-unbr pic s9(04) value +0 comp-4.
After opening the display file, retrieve the attributes using ACCEPT
and you now have access to the User-Id (along with other data):
*---> Get User-Id
accept atr-area from at-area
move atr-user-id to ws-userid
Because most of this is included in copybooks (which are automatically
generated via a homegrown COBOL code generator) - it makes life easy
for me...lol

Subject: [COBOL400-L] Is there an easy way to retrieve the user-ID in an iseries COBOL ILE pgm?
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
http://www.itjungle.com/fhg/fhg050113-story02.html
Is there a better, cleaner, more intuitive method?
Thanks
