Most of these, according to DDLIST:
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPCTL0 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400516
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPCTL3 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400517
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPCTL4 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400518
...
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPLST1 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400519
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPLST2 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400520
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPLST3 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400521
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPLST4 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400522
...
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPWRK1 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400523
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPWRK2 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400524
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPWRK3 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400525
*VIO NEW,DEL > ISPWRK4 SYS05241.T154937.RA000.SPPG.R0400526
... already have generated names with little collision hazard.
(If you try again, one second later, it's likely to work.) The
profile is the chief offender. And, as I noted, earlier, most
of our programmers are satisfied to work with the exclusive ENQ
propagation for ISPPROF suppressed; they accept last-update-wins.
("Satisfied" insofar as they would find it less satisfactory to
be required to log off one system before logging on to another.)
