Todd 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.
