Summary
The PROCESSACCESSID procedure is used to obtain the process access ID (PAID)
of the calling process.
Syntax for C Programmers
This procedure does not have a C syntax, because it is superseded and should not be
used for new development. This procedure is supported only for compatibility with
previous software.
Syntax for TAL Programmers
Parameters
access-id returned value
INT
returns the process access ID (PAID) of the caller in the following form:
<0:7> group number
<8:15> member number
Considerations
•
Process access ID (PAID) compared to creator access ID (CAID)
For a given process, an access ID is a word in the process control block (PCB) that
contains a group number in the left byte and a member number in the right byte.
There are two access IDs used in the operating system.
Note. This procedure is supported for compatibility with previous software and should not be
used for new development.
