you say "using DCL" ... I do have a macro routine that I call from a
wrapper program in Basic (Vax, Alpha and IA64 versions) that when
given
a PID, will look it up and create a symbol containing a string
like LNM$JOB_82DE6580 ... got help on writing this from several
people,
not something I was able to figure out on my own  :-)

GETJOB == "$PAGE_C:[003]GETJOB.ALPHA_EXE"
getjob  'f$integer(%x1B37DC57)'  xyz
SHOW SYMBOL xyz
XYZ = "LNM$JOB_82DE6580"

wiil that do ??
