RE: RPG Question

[Bob Crothers <bcrothers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oops!  I screwed that one up.  The reply I just posted was to 
retrieve the Serial Number....Not the system name.

Guess I just got excited because of the potential for sending a 
reply that would generate no controversy!  No mention of "other 
OS's", no talk about new fangled GUI editors, who pays for what 
or even OOP techniques by procedural programers.  Just plain old 
code.  Was kind of refreshing <g>

Sorry.

But, to get the System Name directly from an RPG program, you 
will want to use the QWCRNETA API as described in the OS/400 
System API Reference.

 << File: Douglas D Aarestad.vcf >> A quick RPG question: (If 
y'all don't mind!)

Is there a way to retrieve the system name in an RPG program? 
(IE;
S10-------) (I didn't see it anywhere in the SDS)

Secondarily, I could retrieve it in a CL and parm it in.  (Can't 
you
RTVSYSVAL and get the system name?)

(Incidentally, we are CISC (obviously by the serial #!) at V3R2)
