  The "Special environment" field for job information as retrieved 
using both the QUSRJOBI API [JOBI0600 Format] and QWTRTVTA API [Format 
RTVT0100 key 1908].

  However I seem to recall that the STRS36PRC command, when invoked 
while a S/36 procedure is _running_ [not just because the S/36EE is 
active] will actually fail with an escape message that can be monitored. 
 If so, the error could be monitored, and from that, inferred the 
request is not allowed; i.e. the command itself has done the work to 
determine the condition.?  Maybe this is not relevant, because perhaps 
instead it was meant the CLP does STRS36; thus the desire is to prevent 
the CLP from sending the job to the S36EE menu?
