Empirical testing shows this is being done automatically by z/OS. Wouldn't it be an intergrity issue with z/OS in a sysplex if it did not do it automatically? Wouldn't you expect a strong hint in one of the planning/installation/customization books if there was a need for action? I would. --

The results Edward Jaffe posted are of course entirely correct and reproducible for simple, vanilla sysplexes. There are, however, some more complex situations in which default prefix values do not ensure uniqueness. I have asked the client for whom I resolved one such problem to authorize my
