Your question leaves out one critical piece of information required for a complete answer. Where does that COBOL program run? Batch? CICS? IMS? Elsewhere? In particular, for CICS or IMS the required techniques differ from those for batch. -- Walt Farrell, CISSP IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: getting the mainframe id in a cobol program
The idea is to start at address 16H (CVT) and use variables defines as USAGE POINTER to travel on the control blocks chain to the TCB. The is a good sample here, as they already mapped the DSECTs to Cobol for you.

It does not handle CICS transactions, IMS transactions, etc. COBOL program is too imprecise as a description. Where the program runs is perhaps more important to the original question. -- Walt Farrell, CISSP IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

getting the mainframe id in a cobol program
Hello. Could some one please help me mt to get the mainframe id when i execute the cobol program, this id will hen be inserted in a table to see who has inserted the record.

Thanks, RajeevV If you want a pure COBOL program, then it is going to be a bit complicated to code and might someday fail because IBM could change things. You'd need to do a lot of chain chasing. Instead, I would strongly suggest that you use an assembler subroutine which uses the IAZXJSAB macro. This is the correct, and documented, way to do it. The routine is very small: USERID CSECT USERID AMODE ANY USERID RMODE ANY SAVE (14,12),,USERID LR11,15 USING USERID,11 CNOP 0,4 BAS 2,*+76 BRANCH AROUND SAVE AREA DC18A(0) SAVE AREA ST13,4(,2)SAVE REGISTER 13 ST2,8(,13)SAVE BACK CHAIN LR13,2LOAD SAVE AREA POINTER L 2,0(,1) POINT TO RETURN AREA FOR USERID IAZXJSAB READ,X USERID=(2) L 13,4(,13) POINT TO OLD SAVE AREA RETURN (14,12),T,RC=0 RETURN LTORG * IAZJSAB IHAASCB IHAASSB IHAPSA IKJTCB IHASTCB END USERID You call it via: ... 77 RUNNING_USER_ID PIC X(8). ... CALL USERID USING RUNNING_USER_ID. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
