In order to extract the system user ID through CLIST we can do it using the system variable SYSUID. I would like to the equivalent in REXX.

Thanks,
Meg

I just found the anser myself that we have the same in REXX. I am sorry about the mess up.

That's quite alright...wanna share what you do?

You are probably getting the ISPF variable from a pool somewhere...no?

Rexx has the function userid() which will return the userid of the executor the Rexx.

eg. say userid()

Hi Maton_Man,
In Rexx there is a sytem varibale to get the user ID.
SYSVAR(SYSUID). IN clist we need to use &SYSUID while in REXX we need to use it alng with SYSVAR.

The corresponding ISPF variable is ZUSER

From the manual...

SYSVAR is a TSO/E external function which will return the value of SYSUID.

SYSUID is the user ID under which the current TSO/E session is logged on.
The SYSUID argument returns the same value that the USERID built-in function returns in a TSO/E address space.

Two ways to skin the same cat. Presumably you are passing the value of SYSUID between Rexx and CLIST otherwise userid() would not be a problem...
