Hi, As far as I remember 8 char TSO userids are available when MVS is used with VM/XMAS under an augmented universe but only if you use the Undocumented Feature Option and the System Transition Application Real Generic Access Tool Environment.
Otherwise I think the chance for metric to be used in the USA are better. The manual for intellectual self defense tells that neither the ability of using arbitrary length ids elsewhere nor seeing anything else that doesn't tell anything positive doesn't make a working feature a bad one. I'd rather see an IPL being faster, etc. usual seasonal greetings :-) Peter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
