I had a COBOL programmer ask me how they could get the LPAR name, SYSNAME,

get that information.
Does anybody know of any LE Functions or a cleaner way to do this.
BTW, the programmer does not want to add a SORT step before the COBOL
program nor do they want to change the execution JCL. Hence the restriction
of only obtaining this from inside the COBOL program.
I got to wondering about this. Your programmer does know that
COBOL stands for COmmon Business Oriented Language, right? It
just doesn't seem that obtaining an LPAR name or SMFSID is in
the same ballpark as doing accounting or inventory or other
business applications. Why not use a tool designed to obtain
this kind of information?
