Thanks - I was looking for an easy way to find the current system name so I could include that in alert messages I send out.
I found I could do this: /* rexx */ 'identify (stack' parse pull id parse value id with x y name . .... This at least gives me the system name and that is all I need for now. Lionel B.

In most cases, the information isn?t accessible to users with class G only, and they have no business knowing about anything outside their virtual machine. From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lionel B. Dyck Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 11:19 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: z/VM REXX Functions for system information REXX in the z/OS space has several functions (sysvar and mvsvar) that return information about the active system. Is there anything comparable to those in z/VM REXX (I've been looking but perhaps not in the right places) ?
