Not true! See chapter 21.8 Generating jobnames for OMVS address spaces in the "z/OS UNIX System Services Plannig" manual for the details. In summary, a single digit is added to jobnames shorter than 8 characters. After 9 has been used the digit wraps back top 1. Eight character jobnames stay unchanged. In some cases a new, completely unrelated jobname may be used. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
