If that were the only issue then maybe. TSO also has built in code that insists that say if you use the output command (not the only command) that insists that the job name you are working on is your userid plus 1 character. Eight character job names is fixed so now you can't access your output. That is only one of the built in restrictions, there are more.

Ed

Automatic Jobs submitted by ISPF have the same restriction. They use your defined JCL (which as a max 7 character Jobname) and append an extra character. Also, the ISPF view output command (3.8?) uses your Jobname plus 1 character as it search/select criteria.
