Does anybody out there know how to retrieve the system serial number in an RPG program? I would be most appreciative to have somebody stand up and say: I do!! I do!! It would also be nice if you'd then tell me how to do it.

Code your RPG program as shown in 2a. Then create CL program RTVSRL as shown in 2b.

Code your RPG program as shown in Figure 2a. Then create CL program RTVSRL as shown in Figure 2b.

Voila!
