VMS Help Lexicals, F$GETJPI  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Returns information about the specified process.

    Requires GROUP privilege to obtain information on other processes
    in the same group. Requires WORLD privilege to obtain information
    on any other processes in the system.

    Format

      F$GETJPI(pid,item)

1 - Return Value

    Either an integer or a character string, depending on the item
    you request.

2 - Arguments

 pid

    Specifies the process identification (PID) number of the process
    for which information is being reported. Specify the pid argument
    as a character string expression. You can omit the leading zeros.

    If you specify a null string (""),  the current PID number is
    used.

    You cannot use an asterisk (*)  or percent sign (%) wildcard
    character to specify the pid argument in the F$GETJPI function,
    as you can with the $GETJPI system service. To get a list of
    process identification numbers, use the F$PID function.

 item

    Indicates the type of process information to be returned. Specify
    the item argument as a character string expression. You can
    specify any one of the following items:

3 - Example

  $ NAME = F$GETJPI("3B0018","USERNAME")
  $ SHOW SYMBOL NAME
    NAME = "JANE        "

      This example shows how to use the F$GETJPI function to return
      the user name for the process number 3B0018. The user name is
      assigned to the symbol NAME.
