For the first time in ages we are in the process of enhancing our inventory of user defined system symbols (IEASYMxx). I jumped out half-cocked and attempted to set a symbol equal to the name of the current LPAR. That sounds easy, but I cannot find an simple way to do it. Even pored over the V2R1 doc, which looks much as I remember it from 1995.
There are three names that can be used in SYSDEF statements: HWNAME, LPARNAME, and VMUSERID. However, these are available only for 'filtering'. That is, I can do something like SYSDEF LPARNAME(LPARSKIP) /* If LPAR name is this */ SYMDEF(&USRLPARN='LPARSKIP') /* Then set user symbol to this */ The problem is that I have to have a separate pair of statements for every LPAR in the Enterprise. If a new LPAR gets created, I have to clone a new pair of statements. What I would like is to be able to set &USRLPARN directly to the name of the current LPAR whatever it is. One statement that would serve everywhere and never need cloning. Am I missing something obvious? . . .
