It's actually an installation option under JES (didn't used to be). Under OS/390 2.7(ish) it was introduced as DUPJOB=DELAY -- I believe that is the correct name. The default was set to emulate past (and commonly expected behaviour). Most expect this behaviour. So, depending on how many in your shop are 'old' MVS'rs, you may be able to convince your sysprog to change it. PS: take a look at the ISPF file print utility. It does something similar, and rotates your last jobname character (A-Z) if your jobname is USERID+1Char in the card(s) you set up for log/list defaults. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
