From the fine manual: When an SDSF batch session is started, it establishes the following values for these criteria: User ID Set to the user ID from the ACEE (accessor environment element), provided it contains a valid user ID OR Set to the job name minus the last character. Logon proc name Set to BATCH for program name SDSF, and AFD for program name ISFAFD. Terminal name Set to BATCH for program name SDSF, and the LU name for program name ISFAFD. TSOAUTH for ISFGRP Set to JCL authority. In one of our small monoplex systems the ISFPARMS are still similar to those old defaults / samples that check for TSO ACCOUNT to classify someone in the SYSPROG group and OPER to classify in the operator group and then "all others". So SDSF in batch on that system doesn't work for sysprogs / operators. I did set up some additional groups recently on that system for production batch jobs (and the people on my team of course) that work by userid (IUID) with NTBL entries. No one ever seemed to use SDSF in batch in this particular environment prior to z/OS 1.9 with SDSF / REXX.
