But ISTR that when JES2 went from a 4-digit numeric suffix to 5 (does anyone remember the old format?), it was made an installation option whether the numeric part reset at 100,000 or at 10,000. Our site chose 10,000 because we were not suffering a name space constraint and there was some compatibility concern. (Terse format of operator commands?) So perhaps the format is a configurable parameter.
(I ranted lately, "I hate options!" And this is such a case where I'd value synchronic consistency above diachronic compatibility.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
