Dan,
I don't know of a way to get the actual programmer ID from the job step, but
a possible workaround might be to pass it in using SYSPARM, like this:
//STEP01 EXEC SAS607,OPTIONS='SYSPARM="SSPRICE"'
//SASLOG DD SYSOUT=*
//SASLIST DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
%PUT &SYSPARM;
Where it says "SSPRICE", you would change it to the programmer name from
your job card. Kind of a hassle though, because you have to remember to
change the SYSPARM value whenever the programmer in the job card changes.
It would be nice if you could use a symbolic parameter from a JCL SET
statement (at least that way you'd only have to change it in one place to
change multiple steps in the job), but I tried it and couldn't get it to
work.
In case I misunderstood and you were actually wanting the ID of the person
who submitted the job (not necessarily the ID from the job step), you don't
even have to use SYSPARM - just use &SYSUID in the SAS code (6.08, TS425 &
later).
HTH,
Sterling Price
