For instance, If someone starts a task called "MYTASK" via "S MYTASK.bob" and I would like it to be something other than "BOB" that I can issue a modify command to the STC "MYTASK", is there a way to internally modify the identifier so that I can change it to "MARY" so that no matter how the STC is started I can always talk to it via "F MARY,mycommand"? This is especially important when they start it with no identifier. If they have an IEFRDER DD it uses the unit address of that allocation, if not it uses whatever silly name they called the STC in PROCLIB. I seem to remember that there was a way to do this from a long time ago, but I can't find any doc anywhere that deals with changing this after the task has started.
