NAME
     dpgetpid - get current DP process's id

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     void dpgetpid(mydpid)
     DPID *mydpid;

DESCRIPTION
     dpgetpid() stores in the DPID structure pointed to by mydpid
     the current process's DP id.

     The DPID structure is a 28-byte string that is  used  by  DP
     internals  to store seven 32-bit integers.  It is guaranteed
     to be unique across all DP processes, and due to its 28-byte
     size,  can  accommodate  a  huge number of DP processes.  DP
     applications need not concern themselves  with  interpreting
     this id.

REMARK
     This is a DP function call.
