Please excuse me if this isn't the right forum for this question, but I'll take a chance and pose the following :

A co-worker asked me today if there is a way that he can programmatically capture the Job Id of a job just submitted.

I didn't ask him if he was submitting it via the internal reader or through REXX, but I would assume that that would be the logical 'tie in'.

If anyone has any information or ideas on this, I would appreciate it...

Thanks.

if rexx, use outtrap()

Well, I ended up suggesting to him to use REXX..

Here is what I came up with :

[code:1:8ed5580083]//STEP1 EXEC PGM=FILEAID
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSLIST DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTOTAL DD SYSOUT=*
//DD01 DD DATA,DLM='

There is a COBOL program to achieve this

sreejith,

The example you refer to is for a program to find out it's OWN info, not the info on a second job just submitted by the first job.

You are right. I didn't read the post well.

Thanks
