As Robert Nix mentioned, the easiest and safest way to get the system nod e name is to use the CP QUERY USERID command. No dependencies on SYSTEM
NETID or IPLPARMS and it's a class G command, (anybody can use it). I us e it in lots of Execs to determine what system I am on. In a REXX Exec, yo u can code something like this to get the system node name: Parse Value Diag(08,'QUERY USERID') With . . node . '15'x . Dale R.
