I get your drift, John.
But, IMHO, you have a valid case. You can be more productive, if given a
second userID. That means that the company will save money, if they give you
one.
It may be an uphill battle, but if you make your case to your manager and
his/her superiors, perhaps all the way up to the CIO ... who knows, Security
might change their ways. It's only in the best interests of the company that
you are making this request.

Mayhap so. But Corporate Security HAS SPOKEN! and all dissenting voices
have been silenced (permanently, if you get my drift).

But, given how IBM is "pushing" UNIX on z/OS now, I wonder if they will
ever do this. Just as a curiosity.
