Unfortunately, on z/OS UNIX you typically have more than one userid having uid=0. While not perfect, the different path and other settings could be set from the "uid=0" section of the ENV script I posted. Maybe by sourcing a shared script to help those with "su" authority to set the same values. (The script would be readable my UID=0 only). Mark: Thanks for the remark regarding $ENV. I missed to add it. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
