>I am curious: is TSO the only hold-out? For 7 character userids, probably. However, there are two related issues that are global: 1. The current limit of userids to 8 characters is equally obsolescent. 2. The limitation of DSN components no longer makes sense, now that IBM has put a stake through the heart of CVOL's. I agree with Paul that the TSO PROFILE PREFIX should be expanded to 42 characters. Due to control block layouts, expand it or the userid to 8 characters would be as much work as expanding them to a larger size. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
