Actually, ASCBJBNS is not zero for an initiated job. It points to the name of the initiator started task - INIT for a JES2 initiator or BPXAS for OMVS work. If ASCBJBNI is not zero, then it points to the job running on the initiator. So, the initiator started task name could also be used to determine what type of work it is.

If ASCBJBNS is zero, then I check to see if it is an initiated job by reading in ASCBJBNI field. I guess since the OMVS subtask (such as INETD) are run under BPX initiators, they are considered initiated jobs and the name of the task is in the ASCBJBNI field. > >The question is: >Does anyone know a way to tell if an initiated job is an OMVS task or a batch job, programmatically?
