This is a multipart message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I do not believe that the LDA is one of the environment variables. Look at the commands GO MENU(CMDENVVAR) Now, I've never had to retrieve an environment variable. However, I have had to set some in order to run some specific Domino applications. I assume there is an api or something to read an environment variable. This sounds like a function used mainly by applications (Domino) migrated or ported to the iSeries from other platforms (Windows or Unix).

I'm working on a new report for FAB and decided to use *LDA to pass the parms from program to program, since this one looks like it's going to change a lot. I'm using an online parm entry that populates *LDA, then am calling a CL that checks to see if it's running interactively and if it is it submits itself to batch and ends. Basic stuff. The SBMJOB command apparently has a "new" parameter called "Copy environment variables" - keyword CPYENVVAR. On FAB this value defaults to "*NO" which means that the system does NOT carry the contents of the local data area to the batch job. FAB is on V5R1M0 L00. I don't know how long this parm has been around. This is the first time I've seen it, but I know I have done this type of processing before for FAB and other clients. If the parm is set to "*YES" then the current job's *LDA is passed to the batch job. I spent about an hour chasing my tail trying to debug a program that really was working just fine. I'm going to email Ashley and ask him if we can change this command default to *YES. Can you think of a time when you would ever want the submitted job to not carry the calling job's variables with it? I can't. Just wanted to let you know in case you start having problems.
