How can I access LNM$JOB from another job?

[PETROS DAFNIOTIS]

Problem Statement
-----------------

On a VT terminal I have a process A that defines a logical LOGA in the
Job table; this is say LNM$JOB_XXXXXXXX where XXXXXXXX is a job block
number for VMS (or something like that based on the docs).

Now on another VT terminal I login the same account and I can do
a
$ show log/table=LNM$JOB_XXXXXXXX LOGA
and get the correct answer
BUT my question is how do I get the XXXXXXXX number by knowing only the
PID number of the A-process. i.e. I do not want the user to try to
find out the job block number but only the PID of the A-process.

Hope this make some sense. Thank you in advance for any comments/hints/help,

To make a very long post considerably shorter, here are the hints you
requested:

CMKRNL
EXE$EPID_TO_PCB
PCB$L_JIB

If it turns out you need more than this send me mail and we'll work something
out.

The XXXXXXXX is the hexadecimal-string of the JIB-address.

Anonymous FTP to node FTP.HHS.DK directory MISC file GETJIBADR.MAR will
give you code to translate from PID to JIB [CALL GETJIBADR(PID,JIBADR) both
arguments longwords passed by reference].
