IMHO - An 8 Char TSO ID is doable.
It is NOT. I'd suggest to RTFM or just try. I tried, results below.
However, the following points need to be
evaluated:
1) Using an 8 char TSO ID will prevent the tso user from submitting a job
with a dynamically incrementing job card
//TSOID JOB ...
Will submit as
//TSOIDA JOB .... the first time
//TSOIDB JOB .... the second time and so on
Therefore, you would need to verify that you do not have any TSO Users
that do that. This process allows a TSO User to submit multiple jobs with
different job names. Otherwise, they would all have the same name. That is
sometimes confusing for the TSO User.
The above is irrelevant since you cannot logon.
2) You may need to review exits like IKJEFT10 to ensure it is compatible.
Or to modify it for the 8 char TSO ID.
3) You will need to review other products or reporting processes to ensure
they do not expect 7 char or less TSO IDs.
4) If you also setup alternate TSO IDs, ensure they follow your standards
At one shop I worked at TSOIDX was a primary TSO Id for the user,
whereas TSOID1 was an alternate. That way we could provide multiple IDs
without the user getting too confused. If you use 8 chars for TSO ID you
may need to change the way you create alternates.
The results:
1. AU S1234567 NAME('TEST USER')
OK
2. ALU S1234567 TSO()
OK! The comment below.
3. logon using user S1234567
IKJ56710I INVALID USERID, S1234567
IKJ56703A REENTER THIS OPERAND -
Ad 2. It is kind illogical - I can create TSO segment for the userid
which is invalid for TSO. I wouldn't be able to do create UADS entry.
At least some warning would be nice.
Ad 3. Caution: message IKJ56710I description is not clear - it suggest
invalid or non-existent userid. Non-existent (but potentially valid)
userid gives another results.
