Hi Listers, We have a request to look into utilising 8-chars userids. 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.
You could use 8 char. userids for users who only use CICS, IMS, or web applications. TSO userids have a hard restriction to 7 chars. maximum. Userids with 8 chars. can have difficulties in a batch environment. For instance, you could not submit a job without a JOB statement since you cannot have a jobname of userid + one char.
