You're right, it isn't very intuitive. From what I could see it tells me if I am in a TSO or Batch environment, but not if called from Rexx.
I've noticed that using the PASSENVB option on the CALL will put the Rexx ENVBLOCK address in R0. On the other hand it is ignored for authorized programs. (-: They really make it a challenge to call authorized stuff from Rexx. The ECT also contains the address of the Rexx ENVBLOCK I just noticed. I wonder if that might help. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Comstock Sent: 1. toukokuuta 2008 19:03 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Using IKJCT441 with CALL *(module) from Rexx Lindy Mayfield wrote: > > If this is valid, what would be a good way for the program to know how > it is being called?

Might be worth a look at.
