RE: How to get Process Control Space for a job

["Steve Richter" <srichter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vernon,

this mi code will get the pcs pointer of the job that runs the instruction:
        DCL SPCPTR pPcsArea
        DCL DD PcsArea CHAR(16) BDRY(16)
        SETSPP pPcsArea, PcsArea
        MATPRATR pPcsArea, *, X'25'
        CPYBWP YourPcsRtnVlu, PcsArea

To my knowledge, Factor 2 of MATPRATR can only be "*".  So this instruction
will not get the pcs of another job.

One workaround for this restriction is that if you are going to want the pcs
pointer of a job, somehow have that job run MATPRATR at job start and store
the result in a usrspc.

I want to transfer a lock to a job I submitted. How do I get the PCS for
a job if I know its qualified job name (or its internal identifier)? The
xfrlock MI command (used in C) wants a pointer to the PCS, NULL if you
are doing it for your own job.

Thanks
