Hi,

Does anyone know how to distinguish between a DL/I and BMP program without looking at the executing JCL.

Regards
Nilesh

I don't think one can classify a program as DLI or BMP. It is the PSB which can be classified as DLI or BMP.

/DIS PGM psbname in the online region can tell whether it is a BMP or not.

There are certain calls that can only be issued in a BMP such as calls to the message queue but a DL/I program can be executed as BMP if it is defined in the
SYSGEN.

For a BMP program you should use IO-PCB but not in a DLI program.
