Note the variables won't exist if it's a local session.  In the past
I've used the bound command to prevent command scripts from failing...

IF BOUND(HPVT_etc)     
   IF  (HPVT_etc = "whatever") 
       etc

Question:

How to determine the session was started from a remote job?

When a job is streamed on a system the hp variable set for the job are
as
follows: 

 HPSTREAMEDBY = CATHLENE,MGR.MCRAE (#S102)  HPJOBTYPE = J  HPINTERACTIVE
= FALSE
  
When the job does a dsline system and a remote hello the following
variables are set for the remote session:

 :remote showvar
  HPSTDIN_ACCESS_TYPE = NS/VT
  HPVT_CLIENT_LDEV_NUM = JOB INPUT SPOOLER
  HPVT_CLIENT_JOB_NUM = #J14
  HPVT_CLIENT_JOB_NAME = MGR.MCRAE

  HPINTERACTIVE = TRUE
  HPJOBTYPE = S
  HPSTREAMEDBY = CATHLENE,MGR.MCRAE (#S102)



The variable set when a session does a dsline system and a remote hello
are:

HPSTDIN_ACCESS_TYPE = NS/VT
HPVT_CLIENT_LDEV_NUM = 3
HPVT_CLIENT_JOB_NUM = #S102
HPVT_CLIENT_JOB_NAME = MGR.MCRAE      

           
So the question how can you tell if a job or session started the remote
session?

Answer: 

The hpvt_client_ldev_num will be may be set to "job input spooler " and
hpvt_client_job_num will be "#J".


Hope this answer's your question.
