The userid needs of ISV's and especially the more specialized ones are different that the general userid of an application supporting z/OS instance(s). There may be (more or less reasonable) reasons for an installation to insist on unique userid/person. But, I agree that this should not be a limitation at a basic level like TSO. For those installations who desire it, it should be a security system option. > > -- > Edward E Jaffe > Phoenix Software International, Inc > 831 Parkview Drive North > El Segundo, CA 90245 > http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to > [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
