TSO logon ids are limited to seven characters so deeply and pervasively that eight is totally out of the question. Note that a SAF userid could be eight characters, but it could not be used for TSO. . . JO.Skip Robinson SCE Infrastructure Technology Services Electric Dragon Team Paddler

No. Why? Because there are a number of control blocks in z/OS related to TSO which reserve only 7 bytes for the value. What would normally be the 8th byte is a 1 byte length field. I don't know why TSO stored the length of the id. Now, this is only true if the person wants to LOGON to TSO
