Hi, One reason could be that TSO doesn't accept userids with a length of eight. When you try to logon with "LOGON USERID8L" you'll get message IKJ56710I INVALID USERID, USERID8L . The TSO logon panel accepts a maximum of seven characters for the userid .

First reaction from the team was 'No', but we have to put forward our arguments. So we need to put up a list of 'pros' and 'cons' on this request. Any help to formulate the list is appreciated. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
