Re: Is there a system value that will give me the system name?

I don't understand that aversion, either. Long ago, we either called a CL program from within an RPG (or – horrors! – COBOL; I worked in both) program, or else the CL program would retrieve those types of values beforehand and then call the HLL program, passing them as parameters.

I "get" wanting to keep it all in RPG if possible. That's one of the reasons why, for one-off tasks – how many times are you going to retrieve the system name in a process, for example? – I use embedded SQL if it will do what I need. Embedded SQL may be slower than a call to a CL program or an API, but if you're only doing it once, who cares?

Why the strong aversion to CL? It's just another tool. You would have had your solution in under 5 minutes.

Hi Darryl,

The fastest method is, as Jack Prucha mentioned, the program status data
structure. However, you have to be on v7r4 or have a PTF to make it
available on v7r3. From the What's New section of the RPG ILE Reference
manual for v7r4:

New PSDS subfields
The following new subfields are added to the Program Status Data Structure:
• Internal job ID, in positions 380 to 395.
• System name, in positions 396 - 403.
See “Program Status Data Structure” on page 161
This enhancement is also available in 7.3 with a PTF.

I need to retrieve the system name in a RPGLE program. I do not want to use
a CL program to do a RTVNETA.



I do not see an option using the program status data structure.



Is it available somewhere within the RPG code or is there an SQL statement I
can use to get it.



TIA
