In our case, the D/R sysplex *and* system names are all the same. The only way we can tell them apart is by CPC Type/Serial. We have a REXX call WHEREAMI that inspects CPC Type/Serial in the PCCA and let's you know where you are. Of course, serial numbers can faked under z/VM, but we don't do that... -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
