Re: Detection of batch/interactive

Hi Wayne,
Or get the job name from the program status data structure. If it's an interactive job, the job name will be the name of the workstation. If it's batch, it will be the name of the job description it's running under. 

You can submit a batch job with any name that you like:

        SBMJOB CMD(CALL MYRPGPGM) JOB(DSP01)
Even if you go by the standard that "if it's a display name, it must be interactive" you still have a problem. If the name is "FOO" how do you know if that's the name of a workstation? You can name a workstation anything you like as well.
Many people have already suggested the correct technique of retrieving the job information. It's not difficult to do.
