Name/Token the "new, right" way to do it, for sure. I seem to recall some trick that used to be somewhat common and that I used once. Not any code that I have around currently and I don't recall exactly. There was some trick of using the initial save area pointed to by the jobstep TCB, or something like that.
Any such strategy be aware that you could have more than one TCB kicking around -- you need to use and find the jobstep TCB. Of course, this would be address space local and unique. There are some other strategies if you need or want something global to the LPAR. Name/Token pretty good in any event.

Meaning My Address Space. So the way I see it I can anchor some storage here (TCBUSER) for My Address Spaces work. . . Now When I look at IKJTCB TCBCAUF the comments states address of OF SUBSYSTEM FACILITY CONTROL BLOCK. . Who/What and When exactly is this field populated ? I know from CICS that this field is updated by a macro. So is this field (TCBCAUF) updated by the specific address space ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
