I also wonder how large shops (with more than 3000 TSO users) get around
this limitation. You don't want normal users updating the master catalog
and userid is a common hlq (even built into RACF).
-----------------------<unsnip>-----------------------
At my last place, we had about 4400 users and we split them by
departmental function. OPS got "COPY###", etc., using employee numbers
in the ### field.
The vast majority of our users were customers who selected their own
ID's and we split them alphabetically across several other small catalogs.
(Most of their usage was CICS.)
