From the little user point of view, he/she knows the name of the file. As a matter of policy in most facilities (probably all), all files that the little user do and/or care for are cataloged and are somewhere in the DFSMS managed storage. Thus, if he/she needs the file, all need to be done is mentioning the name. The 44 character name is indeed a stupid limitation that need to go away. The same thing about stupid limitation is the lack of standard catalog in Unix. That limitation needs to go away. ZA
