Thanks Harry, here's my test code:

/* From Harry Motin in a 2007-mar-11 email */
/* call RxFuncAdd 'DOSPIDLIST','REXXLIB','DOSPIDLIST' */
rc = rxfuncadd( 'rexxlibregister', 'rexxlib', 'rexxlibregister' )
say "RxFuncAdd(REXXLIB)="rc
rc = rexxlibregister()
say "rexxlibregister()="rc
say ""
rc = DOSPID()
say "DOSPID()="rc
say ""
rc = DOSPIDLIST(ProcessID,ProcessName,ParentName,SessionName)
say "DOSPIDLIST()="rc
say "ProcessID.0="ProcessID.0
say "ProcessName.0="ProcessName.0
say "ParentName.0="ParentName.0
say "SessionName.0="SessionName.0
say ""
rc = DOSPROCINFO('N',)
say "DOSPROCINFO(N)="rc
rc = DOSPROCINFO('P',)
say "DOSPROCINFO(P)="rc
rc = DOSPROCINFO('S',)
say "DOSPROCINFO(S)="rc

In my DLL directory I have

6-19-01 1:51p 193606 0 REXXLIB.DLL

The results look good for DOSPID() but not for DOSPIDLIST()
or DOSPROCINFO():

RxFuncAdd(REXXLIB)=1
rexxlibregister()=1

DOSPID()=2473

DOSPIDLIST()=0
ProcessID.0=PROCESSID.0
ProcessName.0=PROCESSNAME.0
ParentName.0=PARENTNAME.0
SessionName.0=SESSIONNAME.0

DOSPROCINFO(N)=
DOSPROCINFO(P)=52
DOSPROCINFO(S)=-1

What is my error?

Concerning REXXLIB, Quercus still has its (c) 1995 web page at
http://www.quercus-sys.com/rexxlib.htm saying they want $50
for a copy. The online docs say there are two PID calls:

DOSPID returns the process id (PID).
DOSPIDLIST places information about currently active
processes into one or more compound variables.

I don't know where to download the 2001 (or newer) version.
Does anyone know about license issues for REXXLIB? Or should
I check with Quercus?

There is a much older rexxlib.zip on Hobbes from 1995. This
might be the rexxlib.dll contained in the Quercus REXXLIB demo.
