several approaches, maybe the easiest is to check the associated primary
space
for the program. If the program is a bound ILE program the assoc.
space contains the so-called BNAS information.which includes the program
"attribute" which will be "CLE" for the case in point. Resolve a system
pointer
to the program (you have to that anyway to call it), then SETSPPFP a space
pointer from the system pointer and look at what you get. The place where
the attribute is stored will be in a "record" starting with x'01000000
00010002'
which may be preceded by a x'01000000 00010001' record you have to skip.
Offset x'C' points to the x'01000000 00010001' record, at offset x'C' in that
record points to the x'01000000 00010002' record and the attribute is offset
x'102'.
