I need to be able to intercept the z/OS jobname while my SAS-program is executing. Does anyone have any idea how, or if, I can do this (hard-coding is NOT an option)?

There is a SYSJOBID automatic macro variable.
%put &SYSJOBID;

%put _ALL_; displays all automatic macro variables.

Yep, that's what I needed! Thanks alot, I've been searching/scanning for 2 days trying to find that...

there are a number of zOS-job specific things SAS can capture - I found the "programmer name field" from the job card very useful. (passing a small parameter with least risk to the SAS code)
