I am attempting to use SYS$GETJPI to find information about processes.
Two of the items of information which I need are JPI$_STATE and JPI$_STS.
The returned values make use of SCH$ and PCB$ defines respectively.
I am using C for my programs and have searched through SYS$LIBRARY:*.H and
can not find anything which looks correct for these symbols. The System
Services documentation says that they are in $STATEDEF and $PCBDEF macros.
So, I looked for them in STARLET.MLB hoping to extract the macros and then
write my own '.h' include file with the proper information. No luck there
either. I saw no module in STARLET.MLB with the required names. Checks of
things which looked close got nowhere.
Where is this information??? If someone has previously needed this data for
a C program and has already created '.h' files I would greatly appreciate
a copy of them.
Thanks in advance.

They are defined in SYS$LIBRARY:LIB.MLB Some time ago there were posting of a DCL command procedure, which generated .H-files from LIB.MLB-entries. Erkki

Look in LIB.MLB.

If you want jpidef.h, I have a copy (around here on our cluster somewheres...), as well as syidef, uaidef... Alternatively, you can just plug hex values into the SYS$GETJPI call,but if you are doing a lot of calls to SYS$GETJPI a jpidef.h is probably easier. Also if in VAX C, watch out for the 0 terminator of the item list... I forgot to include it, and hadn't a clue as to all my access violations... -- Paul "Corwin" Frommeyer "Experience is no substitute for competence." UUCP: {seismo,ihnp4}!{iuvax,pur-ee}!corwin

The definitions of PCBDEF and STATEDEF are in LIB.MLB. A very good source for a description of most VMS data structures is the .REQ files located in SYS$LIBRARY. These are BLISS macro definitions of the data structures. The PCBDEF and STATEDEF definitions are in LIB.REQ. I want SDL!
