REXX is packaged with TSO/E even though there are non-TSO environments, and the USERID() function is listed in the section on built-in functions, not in TSO/E external functions. SYSVAR(SYSUID) is only for TSO.

I missed the USERID() function; probably because I need a non-TSO function, so I didn't scrutinize the TSO list (and I may have assumed that since it was provided by SYSVAR, looking for a different way to do it on that list wasn't all that likely to be fruitful). As it happens, the exec in question can use the getlogin command, as it uses the SYSCALLS environment for other reasons. But userid() is the best answer to my question. I'm willing to use CB-chasing in REXX, but only if there's no other reasonable way. sas On Wed, Feb 16, 2022 at 4:02 PM Charles Mills <charl...@mcn.org> wrote: > I plead guilty.
