I need to be able to retrive both CPU id's from a VAX 8820 running VMS 5.0. I need a easy and clean way to retrieve both numbers. The way I currently have done it is by using the F$GETSYI("SID") function. This will only return one number. If you issue this command multiple times you will get the second number. I told one of our customers this but he was unsuccessful in receiving the second CPU id. He tried it about 30 times and got the same number every time. I know that the F$GETSYI function will return the CPU ID of the CPU that currently has control of your process. I need a cleaner and easier way to retrieve both system ID's. Any Suggestions?
