>Userids have nothing to do with job names, in general. If a user logs into a UNIX shell, the UNIX process runs in a new STC whose name is based on the USERID plus 1 character (sort of "random"). I am _guessing_ that with an 8 character RACF id, the UNIX process runs in an STC with the 8 character RACF ID.
Not in my experience. When logging into a shell, sshd (and I believe otelnetd as well) sets the _BPX_JOBNAME variable before spanwing the shell process. An its the plain userid that is being set. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
