Re: [U2] [UD] Determining number of users licensed
And the winner is: PORT.STATUS It is quick and easy. My program executes it using its own @USERNO and parses it out. With no options, it returns instantly. LISTUSER and listuser were too slow. It takes 20+ seconds for them to return from an captured EXECUTE/PCPERFORM when it has to output our 6000+ sessions. I'd probably grep the smm.log if I were writing a unix script or program. Having a SYSTEM() call to get this is on the wish list. My thanks to Kevin, Dan, Colin, and Rod for your suggestions.

I've tracked the largest number of users logged in - but I didn't have to worry about the max. I had thought it was in the SYSTEM() somewhere - but a quick look through help didn't show it.
