As Bender of Futurama might say, "We're Boned!" Sorry, the Wonderful Wizards of HASP decided that a TSO User ID in RACF must be only 7 characters in length and must start with an alpha character only. I think you're gonna have some fun renaming all those old IDs (and all those old Datasets) to the new format. I doubt you'd have an exit that could work that wouldn't also screw up your other operations, so get ready to do some bulk renaming. <SNIP> If TSS could do it, then why couldn't it be done in a RACF environment? ISPF shouldn't choke on this, after all, as the original poster said, they already prefix the "TSOID" with a letter, which would give a max HLQ of 8 characters. The Submit Exit and INTRDR may need a little tweaking. I'd think that the thing to do is bring up a NON-TSS system with RACF (standalone). Your first problem is going to be the TSO PREFIX PROFILE(nnnnnn) because it is going to give you this: IKJ56710I INVALID USERID, 1234567 Once you get that to work, you can set your prefix to your TSS ID (all numbers) and see what falls out next. What one might do, if TopSecret is installed with SMPE is look at the ++USERMODS and what they apply to. That will give you some ideas of what you will need to handle. If it is an IEBCOPY install, look to see what it requires to be installed that happens to have "IBM" owned program (CSECT/MODULE) names. You just might be able to pull off the same things TSS does to allow numeric TSO IDs. Or you may be able to prove to your management that this will require a migration of TSO IDs, or stay on TSS (probably justifying the license/maint fees for TSS to CA).
