Gil, The suggestions were for "standard" JCL submissions, in the traditional 80-byte format. Unusual or special needs were not covered. My option number 2 works only, if you can make do with all of the parameters (CLASS, REGION, etc) as specified in the ISPF Option 0 default job statement. If you need something special for a particular job, then you're better off having a job statement in the JCL (as I stated in my option number 1) and just using the jobname = userid "trick" so that you get prompted to "specify jobname characters" when you submit the job.
