Re: Am I in the S36 environment or not?

After thinking about this some more, even knowing that I am already in the
S36 environment won't help, as I want to issue the STRS36PRC anyway. I am
just going to use the Job Scheduler to run this CLP and not try to run it
with my nightly processes, which run in the S36 environment.

Thanks to all who responded.

I have a CLP that starts the S36 environment via the STRS36PRC

causes a problem as this CLP will now try to STRS36PRC while already

no attribute that tells me my environment. Any suggestions on how to
determine (in the CLP) if I am executing in the S36 environment?
Thanks.

The "Special environment" field for job information as retrieved
using both the QUSRJOBI API [JOBI0600 Format] and QWTRTVTA API [Format
RTVT0100 key 1908].

However I seem to recall that the STRS36PRC command, when invoked
while a S/36 procedure is _running_ [not just because the S/36EE is
active] will actually fail with an escape message that can be monitored.

If so, the error could be monitored, and from that, inferred the
request is not allowed; i.e. the command itself has done the work to
determine the condition.? Maybe this is not relevant, because perhaps
instead it was meant the CLP does STRS36; thus the desire is to prevent
the CLP from sending the job to the S36EE menu?
