Let me try to conclude this thread as it has drifted apart from the original question to the question whether an 8 char (MVS) userid can become valid TSO user (which it *cannot*).
My interest was to find out why some TSO commands can be used in a *batch* job while others (which?) cannot when the job is running under an 8 char (MVS) userid? My understanding at this point is that some commands need a valid TSO control block structure, some don't. The latter can be used in the above environment, the former not. The TSO CONSOLE command seems to belong to the former category, because it needs the user to be authorized for TSOAUTH/CONSOLE. This check is however not even tried when there is not valid TSO control block structure. I assume the same is true for all TSO commands that require authorization via TSOAUTH class profile. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
