In a COBOL program you can use the Lawson defined variable "CRT-JOB-NAME" to refrence the job that is calling the program. Is there a way to do the same in a script that is called by a user defined Lawson form?

I need to know the jobname of a multi-step job that runs a program and then runs a script to copy a printfile from that program. In order to copy the printfile, I need to know the jobname because it is part of the path where the printfile resides.

Is the script called from a 4GL code ? You can pass CRT-JOB-NAME as a parameter to the script when doing a
CALL "system" USING

You can also try something like this in your script:
myjobname=`rngdbdump -tn gen queuedjob -f JobName -v ProcessId=${PPID}`
