Dear Folks,

    There is an additional zap for TASID that is necessary in the initiator display (option 4).  After applying the previous zaps, another zap has to be applied, to show the jobclass for a running job, in the initiator display.  The reason for this is that in z/OS 2.1 (we think) the initiator names were changed from one to eight characters.  Therefore a new field was created to display the initiator name, which has 8 characters, and the old field was blanked out.  Since TASID was written before this time, it only "knew" about one character for the initiator name, and it didn't "know" about the new field containing the initiator name.

    The new zap (called member ZAPTASCL in CBT File 980 on Updates) displays the first character of the new (8-character) initiator name field, instead of the old field (which is now blank).

    It is possible that this zap also applies to z/OS 2.1.  (I haven't tested it there.)

    All the best of everything to all of you.

Sincerely,      Sam
