RE: Getting the ACS job in Windows

Can you tell what .hod file you are using? Can you determine the session name from the .hod file? That should match the 5250 job name.

Thanks Jack.  I did some more research into the macro language. I'm going to investigate if I can pass the Host ID to my java program.  This may work.

I'll let you know how this turns out.

Thanks for the ideas.

Sam, I read your article but the problem I still see is identifying
the job which is started for a particular session.

Looking at the macro language, I *think* you might be able to do a
macro that runs at login and does:

- WRKJOB to get the info
- Screen scrape the info
- Print it to a Windows virtual printfile
- Parse it from there.

Alternatively, you maybe could write a startup program for that user
profile that:

- writes the job info to a spooled file
- prints the spoolfile to ifs text
- scp the ifs text to your windows box
