Re: Batch/Interactive flag

Hello Tim,

You can't use QCMDEXC to invoke any of the RTVxxx commands.  The reason is 
those 
commands have parameters defined with RTNVAR(*YES) and require a memory 
location 
(variable) in which to store the value returned.  QCMDEXC accepts a command 
STRING (a 
text literal that is interpreted as a command) and it is not possible to 
provide the 
address of a variable inside a string in another variable.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.

Mello,
They may have an API for that, I would look into the API Programmers reference 
manual (or)
look into the Program Status Data Structure, or maybe use the RPG callable IBM 
supplied QCMDEXC that you pass an AS400 command to.

  In CL I can retreive the job type using the TYPE paramater
  on the RTVJOBA command. Is there a way of doing this in
  RPG? I do not see anything in the system data structure.
  Is calling a CL to do this the easiest way?
