Subject: Re: Retreive job number for SBMJOB


Hello,

Using either the _system function, or QCMDEXC to issue a SBMJOB command 
from an RPGLE program, can I retreive the job number of the submitted 
job? If so, what do I need to do?

I agree with David. After the SBMJOB command is processed, it'll send you 
a CPC1221 completion message. If you retrieve it with the QMHRCVPM API, 
the first 26 bytes of the message data should contain the job identifier.

Here's a quick example, if it saves you some time:

      H DFTACTGRP(*NO)

      D QCMDEXC         PR                  ExtPgm('QCMDEXC')
      D   command                  32702a   const options(*varsize)
      D   length                      15p 5 const
      D   igc                          3a   const options(*nopass)

      D QMHRCVPM        PR                  ExtPgm('QMHRCVPM')
      D   MsgInfo                  32767A   options(*varsize)
      D   MsgInfoLen                  10I 0 const
      D   Format                       8A   const
      D   StackEntry                  10A   const
      D   StackCount                  10I 0 const
      D   MsgType                     10A   const
