Hi Todd, Off the top of my head, I have never seen an IBM - PARMLIB member, system installation option or IBM system control block that contains a site name. The processor's serial number is in the hardware, but that's about it. The only installation / customization routine that I have ever seen, which asks for the company name, address, etc. is for the CA-1 Tape Management System. CA uses that to customize report page headers. Is that in memory at all times so it might pop up in a dump? ... I don't recall.
Of course, I could think of a zillion uses for such a beast. Having the company name, address, etc. globally available at a memory location, where any program can easily get to it ... that would certainly be nice, IMHO.

If this assumption is correct, where could I pick up that data in an IPCS dump? I've looked in the CVT, ECVT and SMCA but haven't found anything yet. (Perspective: clients send in dumps, and I would like to output the client data with our automated IPCS analysis routines.) Thanks, Todd No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
