How to get PID of self?

[esterud]

I am running OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version V7.3-2.

Inside a .com script I would like to retrieve the current PID of the script being executed. Essentially I want to get the unique PID of myself. I would be setting this to a variable to be used later. Is this possible? Anyone know how to retrieve this info in a script?

Pretty easy.

$ yourpid := f$getjpi("","PID")

The symbol "yourpid" will contain the value.

See "$ HELP LEXICAL F$GETJPI" for more information.

Hope this helps,
Jeff
