Long ago, when I first stating working as a programmer I worked at a site that did not enforce jobnames to be TSO userid+suffix. I could name the jobs anything I wanted and I used that mostly to keep track of what the test case was.
One day, since I could, I named a little test case job COREHOGG. I just thought it was a funny name. The job did not, in fact, use much storage or time. You wouldn't believe the storm of irate phone calls I got during the few minutes the job ran. People assumed that the name was meaningful and how dare I run that during the day shift instead of some weekend in the middle of the night! Needless to say, I did not try any "funny" names after that. --Roger On Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 11:42 AM, Donald Zeunert <dromega...@yahoo.com>wrote: > Re: Eight-character TSO Userid Support > > I know some sites already use TSO batch job names w/o TSOID prefix, but > these are still 8 char names that need to be unique. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
