<product plug on> If you're interested in additional functions that PROP doesn't provide, I BM Operations Manager for z/VM may fit the bill. For Tom's specific questio n, Operations Manager allows you to define a group of users and then apply a rule to that group. The group definition supports wildcarding (*, %, #, &, @) in the userid field.
