It is assigned.
It is used by z/OS.
It is intentionally not described in Principles of Operation.
So that is all we will publicly say about it.

Well, in UnixLand the nomenclature is also weird; a sysop doesn't do much that
we expect from an operator but does things that we would expect from a SysAdmin
or SysProg.

I once worked at a company where everybody was either a member of the technical
staff or a senior member of the technical staff. It gave use a lot more
flexibility when bidding on contracts.

Ah, generalist vs. specialist. 'Jack of all Trades' is synonymous with
generalist. There's no such thing as Specialist of all Trades. A renowned
ichthyologist refused to learn the names of his students on the grounds
that learning a student's name would cause him to forget the name of a
fish.

Thank you for the suggestions.
Here is a job that actually worked. (The DSNAMES have been scrubbed.)

Good examples. What do we call a person who:
-- Installs a security product as delivered from the vendor
-- Tailors the product for use by the full range of users from admin to
programmer
-- Installs and tailors vendor-supplied updates/upgrades
-- Troubleshoots problems and obtains/installs fixes

This discussion so far has been about 'functional' titles, as it was
intended. However, many companies also confer a 'corporate' title as well.
For example, it was common at one point for aerospace companies in Southern
California to designate everyone an 'MTS', or Member of Technical Staff.

It's the same for application programmer titles. I've been labeled "Senior

the newest HR title tree is for "developers". Open systems titles are just as
odd and misleading as those for mainframe people, maybe even st
The company I am currently working for just revamped all the titles and clumped

In my specific case, there is a COPY structure populated in the outermost

I agree with your hypothesis ... the PAX fails because it cannot get an
Exclusive ENQ on MY.PAX
With respect to the spawned (PAX) Address Space, though, it is possible
that the spawn itself could take longer than the Batch Job switching
steps and defeat the entire purpose.

If a DD statement exists in a job the Initiator issues the needed ENQ at the

Hi Gil,
How does changing the allocation for SYSUT1 from JCL to DYNALLOC change
anything ... they're both non-Exclusive ENQs?
