I'm looking for areas in z/OS where I can get the CPC name that the current
system is running on. The IPA is a possibility but looks to be populated via
LOADxx and we've had issues with the HWNAME filtering causing problems with the
CPC name. I've looked at IBM's CSRSI service and they have a neat setup where
you can request information at the CPC, LPAR, or VM level *OR* any combination
of the three. However, in IBM's infinite wisdom it appears they left the CPC
name off the list of information returned via a CPC call <sigh>. They have a
CPCNAME defined in the macro expansion but it is an ORG of the LPARNAME and is
in the LPAR area, not the CPC area so it's not a matter of doing a single vs
multiple call type. Very strange they would leave out the CPC name. I've used
the REXX CONSOLE interface in the past to do a D M=CPU and then GETMSG to
retrieve it but I'd prefer not to use this method.
Does anyone know where the CPC name is obtained when D M=CPU is issued or,
barring that, another place I can get the CPC name?
Regards,
Stan
