Beverly,
Not surprising, a lot of manglers don't have a clue what a real systems

I have z/OS customers who can't install simple software without us holding

Sorry for the rant, been a day.

This question might be better asked in the RACF or OMVS mailing lists,
but I'm starting here.
Does a value set in the OMVS segment for PROCUSERMAX override the
setting of MAXPROCUSER in BPXPRMxx? It's documented that way for
THREADSMAX, but not for PROCUSERMAX.

It is fine with z/OS itself if you use the same field for both the input

Whether it works for you will depend on whether you care. Maybe your
