I find that when I set the PREFIX to other than its default value of my user ID, then:
o As reported before, FTP sets my directory on entry to the value specified in PROFILE PREFIX. o The z/OS Unix shell command, "cp '//unqualified.data.set' ..." continues to prefix data set names with my user ID. How? Does FTP take a trip through the TSO TMP to get the prefix? Where is it stored? Why the difference? Isn't FTP, like most communication services nowadays z/OS Unix based? Don't they both use the same CRTL? Does IBM not recognize the value in consistency here? Am I failing to understand the differing objectives of the respective designs? Yah, yah; I know; Conway's Law again. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
