I have written a small COBOL program which retrieves the Stream Job related
information and uses that data to set MPE/ix variables.
 
information include:
 
Info on Stream job....  1) job number
                        2) spool DFID for job's $STDLIST
 
info on STREAMER  (job/session that launched the stream job)
each of the following go into their own MPE/ix variables.
 
    1) job number
    2) job name
    3) job username
    4) job acctname
    5) job ldev
    6) job type  (S/J)
 
---- Additional variables set -----
 
I concatenate a few things to form
 
a) jobname,username.acctname
b) full jobnumber ->  jobtypejobnumber  such as S123  or J456
 
once this info is loaded into MPE/ix variables, the info can be utilized by the
remainder of you stream job.  The STREAMER info is non-applicable when
dealing with the job which is runnig at a terminal but...that makes sense.
 
in early 4.0 release it seemed that item 6 (job type) was not supported so I
made a small assumption.  By Default ldev 10 is considered to be the streams
device.  So I would check the streamer ldev against the streams device and
if they matched, then the streaming task was a JOB else it was a SESSION.
To be flexible I added support for INFO= where you can include you actual
streams device if 10 is not what you use.
 
If there is any interest in this program just contact me.
