We've had threads here about the difficulty of associating a running job with the person/process that submitted it. At submit time--passing a job stream to the internal reader--the submitter's userid is known so as to validate SAF authority to run the job under whatever userid is coded on the job card, if any. After that the origin of the job is not knowable unless the 'submitting process' has embedded such information somewhere in the job itself.

The USER=xxxx results in a &SYSUID value of xxxx. I'd still like to know the User ID of the person who initiated the JCL. TIA.
