Data Type

Integer

Default Value

None. This is a read-only parameter.

Description

This parameter returns the FMS process number of the calling process. Process number 0 is the parent. The children are numbered from 1 through ( MAXCPU-1).

Typically the call

CALL FMSIGT ('MYNODE',MYNODE)

is placed in a subroutine which is running in parallel (started by a call to FMSPAR). The integer variable MYNODE should be a local variable (not in a common block where it will be shared).

This value may be used to identify the process or determine which piece of work it is to perform.
