James;
We use a file called UTPAPPENV with a single record of 3 chars which contains and identifier for each environment (DEV - Development, TQA - Quality...) The file is contained in the database library for each environment.

Subject: Easiest way for a program to find out the PRTTXT ("print text") of the job it's running in?
Last month, I had a question about a keyed union of enrollment files for multiple separate environment libraries of an application.
It turned out to be much easier to accomplish the goal by switching to a single enrollment file in the application library, with the environment added as a leading key to it and all its logicals.
But that opens another can of worms: now I have programs that need to know which environment they're running in. Easy enough if the program opens a file in the environment library, but not so easy if it doesn't.
But for a variety of other reasons, the application already sets the Print Text of every one of its jobs to the environment library and TCP port it's using. (Among other things, it makes it easy to find the server jobs using a particular environment, so they can be held, serviced, or terminated.)
Obviously, I can get the print text from a call to QUSRJOBI, format JOBI0400, but is there another way to get it?
