    WRKJOB/DSPJOB was enhanced in 7.3 to add OPTION(*ENVVAR) to allow you to display the environment variables for another job. It is unlikely that we would extend this support to an API, therefore I am declining the request at this time.

    IBM has created the PTF SI60303 for IBM i 7.3.
    The parameter OPTION in command WRKJOB has the new value *ENVVAR to display the Environment Variables of a job.
    Or use the new entry "22. Display environment variables, if active" in the "Work with Job" menu.
