Brian,

I suspect that the job has to be in the 'exec' state in order for its 
$stdlist to be opened and thus the HPLASTSPID to contain a valid value. 

A quick test, raised the jobfence to where the new job went into the 
'deferred' state, seems to confirm it. 

Could it be that your call occurs before the job has begun executing?

Regards
Paul Christidis

I have a Cobol/VPlus app that streams jobs. I use the COMMAND intrinsic to 
 
stream the
jobs. Works fine, streams the jobs ok.
 
Then I immediately call the intrinsic "HPCIGETVAR" to get the variables 
HPLASTJOB and HPLASTSPID
 
The intrinsic always returns HPLASTJOB every time but the HPLASTSPID is 
flakey, sometimes it is blank, sometimes not.
 
Anyone know why it isn't giving the HPLASTSPID ?
 
TIA
 
Brian Donaldson.
