There are a number of programs and even REXX execs that have been written to do this but the first one that I find handy is Roland's STCCHECK in CBT Tape file 321.
File # 321 COBOL Analyzer from Roland Schiradin & post processor http://www.cbttape.org/ftp/cbt/CBT321.zip http://www.cbttape.org STCCHECK This program check if a started Task is already active. This avoid abend U1800 if a operator start the same CICS again. Please note this works only on the same MVS-image, I'll add sometimes code to check the SYSPLEX. //******************* EXECUTE CICS //***************************************** //STCCHECK EXEC PGM=STCCHECK,PARM='DCCA201' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=D //***************************************** //DCCSTRT IF (STCCHECK.RC = 0) THEN //DCCA201 EXEC PROC=DCICSA //EDCCSTRT ENDIF rc = 0 DCCA201 is not active rc not 0 DCCA201 is active Best Regards, Sam Knutson, GEICO Performance and Availability Management mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (office) 301.986.3574 Agnes' Law: Almost everything in life is easier to get into than out of. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carl Edwards Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 2:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Determine what is running on system Is anyone aware of a means by which I can determine if a specific 'process' is running.
