Re: Retreiving System ID within RPG

Thanks for the solution.  But to get it to work, what is "OS/400 option 13"
(QSYSINC - Openness includes) installed.  I talked to our AS/400 tech
support and they were not familiar with opt. 13., is this a menu option or
what?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The Retrieve Network Attributes (QWCRNETA) API will do this.  Here is
an "as-is" sample of using the API to access the system name.  The sample
does assume you have OS/400 option 13 (QSYSINC - Openness includes)
installed.

 Subject: Retreiving System ID within RPG










Is there any way to retreive the System ID from within a RPG program
without passing it as a parm or calling QCMDEXEC to retreive.
