Re: Retrieving request message (the calling command)

Hi Ken,
Yes they are our own commands, all processed with a single CPP. For logging purposes I want to capture the original command string used. I could rebuild it within the CPP but that's a maintenance nightmare. I had myself convinced that I'd done this previously but I've been deluded before! It doesn't seem like it should be that hard to do.

I'm trying to retrieve the actual command string of the the command that

retrieve the request message with the command string in the message data
but ONLY if the command is entered on a command line. If the command was
invoked from a CLP there's nothing there. I've looked up and down the
stack. Its obviously around somewhere and I could have sworn I've done
this before. Anyone know what the difference is between the way a
command is processed in these two scenarios and where I might find my
command?

Without LOGCLPGM(*YES) active, I suspect that's going to be
impossible.

My first question has to be ... what are you trying to actually
accomplish? If it's your command, there *may* be a better way to do
whatever it is that you're trying to do than retrieving the command
string.
