How can I get the status of a user

Dear colleague,

How can I get the status of a user or task weather it is active or not?
My requirement is in the application program I need to check weather a particular user is active (logged on or not) in CICS or not.
I think it can be done by EXEC CICS INQUIRE, but can any body give the complete syntax.

Review the INQUIRE REQID command, which can be found in the CICS "System Programming Reference" manual for your given version/release.

Note that this (like many other INQUIRE, SET, etc, commands) are "SP" (System Programmer) commands and require that the program be translated (not compiled) using the "SP" translator option.

Some shops don't allow application programs to issue "SP" commands and hence, the reason for this "Heads-Up".

Regards,

Bill
