I did.  Thanks.  It discusses logons on different LPARs.  This is
underreaching.  Why not multiple logons on a single LPAR?  The
integrity and serialization issues ought to be the same; the sole
obvious exception would be contention for the job name; this could
be resolved by using a generated jobname (SMOP), or prompting the
user for a suffix character, as in SUBMIT.  If concurrent batch
IKJEFT01 job steps (with different job names) are feasible, why
not similarly for foreground?

And the ISPF issue remains foremost; "caveats" is understatement.
Kudos to TSO for volleying the ball into ISPF's court; that
required courage.

I have a JCL member accessible by NFS on both z/OS and Solaris.  If
I OEDIT it on z/OS, I have access to SUBMIT, and DDLIST (should I
wish it) (I just tried them), etc.  If I  If I were to edit it with
THE (The Hessling Editor; I haven't tried it; only vi) on Solaris,
those facilities would surely be unavailable.  (I've coded my own
SUBMIT, using FTP from Solaris.)
