Hi, Lionel.

What do you mean by 'active system' here? If you mean you want to query information about the current configuration of your virtual machine, try using the DMSERP CSL call from Rexx. You can read more about it in the following manual: z/VM: CMS Application Development Guide .

If you want to see the current configuration of the entire VM LPAR, there are ways of getting that information, but you must be running a virtual machine with the necessary CP privileges to do that.

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) ?

thanks
