I had never thought USS was not Unix System Services. I did VTAM work for
many years, so I was familiar with USS as Unformatted System Services, (which
you can find in an IBM manual).

Our enterprise ROT is to share everything in a plex that can be shared. With

Yes, USS dates to the original SNA support, when there were formatted logons

One per environment, so a total of 3 MC's. In essence they are all the
same(or should be). Almost everything in them is indirectly cataloged and in a
pinch could be used for recovery purposes.

Just a general question wondering how others share the master catalog in a

In my opinion, I would share the master catalog as much as possible, and setup
the alternate master catalog as a backup to eliminate single point of failure.

I'm testing out the TSO support of 8 character userids, and am running into the
scenario where when that user, submits a job with it's userid as the jobname,
I'm getting TSO messages, that say "jobname truncated" and "Userid plus jobname
characters cannot exceed maximum jobname length of 8".
All together now: “Yeah, and what of it?” :-)
