There are some caveats to using ASSBSTKN as it is not a GUPI - please see the 
archives for why.

This is one of the more stranger aspects of z/OS that something that is so 
mind-bogglingly useful and fundamental is not intended for customer use - but 
as Jim and Peter pointed out there *are* reasons for that.

Without using ASSBSTKN, a unique address space could be identified :

        hardware_nodename.sysplex.system.jobname.asid.ASCBINTS

"jobname.asid" could of course just be "asid" but having the jobname makes 
things a bit easier to see.

Thanks John and Ed.   I see ASSBSTKN is what I want per a search through the
archives.   Thanks!
