I've been an outspoken critic of the move to 8-character TSO userids. Aside from the belief that it's hugely expensive and mostly pointless, I've objected to the pain and agony the change would inevitably inflict on customers regardless of their actual desire for longer ids. We encountered a problem in z/OS 2.3 of the sort I was dreading. In displaying a userid with ACCOUNT LIST() command, we encountered S0C4 in IKJEFA42, which support tracked to problem related to the handling of 8-character userids. The 7-character id that gets the abend has existed since the 1990's. It's just a code change fallout.
APAR OA55889 has been taken to correct this particular problem. QED. . .
