Vishal:

These aren't actually RPG questions, you may want to consider posting
your questions to a more appropriate source in the future.  Perhaps
the MIDRANGE-L list.

To help you out, this time, I'll try to give you the answers to your
questions... (listed below)

I'm not certain what "status" you are trying to check here.  However,
you might try signing onto a different terminal, and doing a
WRKACTJOB.   This will show you all of the jobs running, and let
you can then do things like change their priorities, look at their
job logs, see how many I/O operations they've done, and many
other things.  Yes, you can get the job number this way.

Its a simple matter to find your job here, see if its running or
waiting for an event, etc.   I often use the ability to check how
many i/o operations have been done to get a rough idea of how
close a program is to being complete.

If you're trying to write a CL program to retrieve the number of
lines in a source member, you can do this with the RTVMBRD command.

something like:

DCL VAR(&LIB) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL VAR(&FILE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL VAR(&MBR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
DCL VAR(&RECORDS) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(10 0)

/* SET &LIB = LIBRARY, &FILE = FILE, &MBR = SOURCE MEMBER   +
    SOMEWHERE BEFORE THIS STATEMENT:                        */

RTVMBRD FILE(&LIB/&FILE) MBR(&MBR) NBRCURRCD(&RECORDS)


/* NOW &RECORDS CONTAINS THE NUMBER OF LINES IN THE SOURCE MEMBER */



Hope that helps...
