Chapter 3  Getting Job and Session Information 

A number of MPE/iX commands and intrinsics allow you to obtain
information about jobs and sessions on your system.  You can use this
information interactively or programmatically.  Some of the questions
that you may wish to answer are

   *   What file equations are in effect for this job or session?

   *   What UDCs can I use?

   *   What jobs are scheduled on this system, and when?

   *   What commands is this user allowed?

   *   What job control words (JCWs) were set during this session?

   *   What are the attributes of this user?

You can display information about the job or session from which a command
or intrinsic call was issued.  Users with the appropriate capability can
also look at information about other jobs and sessions on the system.
You can see information for a single job or session, or for a group of
them, depending upon your needs and what you specify in the command or
intrinsic call.

The following chart summarizes the commands, intrinsics, and other system
features covered in this chapter.
