Hi,
Does anyone know a command that can be executed in a CICS transaction such that it returns the load library name from which the load module of the transaction is picked up? Looking for something like "EXEC CICS ......" that will return the load lib name.
Thanks,
Nilesh

I'm pretty familiar with CICS commands and I'm sure that no such EXEC CICS command exists.

I think if you want this info from within CICS you have to get it the hard way via control blocks etc. - I've seen some code to do this but I'm not sure where - you could try www.xephon.com - they have free code from older issues of 'CICS update' magazine on this site, try looking for 'DFHRPL search' or something like that (DFHRPL is the DDNAME CICS searches for application programs). You could also try www.cbttape.org

Do you have to get this info in a CICS program?
Most 'monitor' programs like OMEGAMON, TMON, Mainview etc. will provide this info, and it's possible to write an ISPF edit macro to scan a concatenation such a DFHRPL or STEPLIB and highlight loadlibs where a given program is found (while in ISPF edit on the CICS startup JCL).
