Depending on your comfort level with programming languages, you could do any of the following (in ascending order of difficulty) :
(1) Use the SDSF REXX API to issue the "PS" command and process the results Very simple to achieve what you want in approx 20 lines of REXX code. (2) Call BPXEKDA using the ODMVASIDALLS option Callable service to return of z/OS unix thread information, however some fields are truncated. One advantage using BPXEKDA is that the caller does not require a OMVS segment. (3) Call BPX1GTH and process the returned structures Full access to z/OS unix thread information, however may require SAF authority to view threads for all address spaces. OMVS segment required.

Kripke Sent: 06 June 2022 21:16 To: [email protected] Subject: USS ps command EXTERNAL EMAIL Is there a way to list the PID, PPID, UID, and, ASID associated with a USS job or task running on z/OS? Of primary interest is to obtain the ASID of the Job or STC. Currently, I am using BPXUNIX and issuing the call to gather the information on all USS processes using 'ps -ef' which does list the PID, PPID, and UID but does not list an associated ASID. Is this possible using the ps command? Sincerely; Kenneth J.
