I'm looking for areas in z/OS where I can get the CPC name that the current
system is running on. The IPA is a possibility but looks to be populated via
LOADxx and we've had issues with the HWNAME filtering causing problems with the
CPC name. I've looked at IBM's CSRSI service and they
Don't know where D M=CPU gets the CPC name.
If by how I can get you mean via assembler or REXX ... Our IEFACTRT exit's
job summary includes the CPC name. We get it from the ECVT control block (field
ECVTHDNM). The ECVT is pointed to by CVT + x'8c'. ECVTHDNM is at offset x'150'
(see macro
What is a CPC name? Do you mean eg 51-13667 which would be the serial
number? (Probably with lots of zeroes in it.)
The reason I ask is because I'd quite like customers to be able to name
their machine e.g Flossie. :-)
When I speak to customers using their RMF data I use the serial number to

My guess would have been D M=CPU uses an undocumented area. I've settled on
using the ECVTHDNM and ECVTLPNM fields as they're part of the programming
interface and should be more reliable than the fields in the IPA.
BPCII has many parts that are quite hidden and not documented. Trying
