Being the OP for the 2006 version of this thread, I'll try to end it here by saying that doing it through an exit is fine by me, now that services to obtain the values have been pointed out to me. I don't know what management's feelings are, vis-a-vis dwindling amount of Assembler and/or exit experience in our group, but that's a different issue entirely. Right now it's a small-sized issue, so the "find and replace" method of actually coding the system ID in the JCL is okay, too. I was just curious about the reasons why it wasn't supported - consider me educated on the subject.
