Craig,
IBM manages all three-character component ids (also known as a
"PREFIX"). They reserve the ids Axx -> Ixx for use in their own
products. Management of these component ids has moved around within
IBM over the years, but my most recent information is as follows:
You may request the assignment of one of the other three-character
codes from IBM by email.
to: ELEMENT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
You will need to provide in your email:
Program name:
Company Name:
Contact: (an email address)
Desired three-character PREFIX:
If the requested id is available then they will assign it to your company.
Now..
I am about to step out to place a bet on The Cup (I may place a bet
on that other contest too, but let's get our priorities straight..
:-) ). Then, in the company of others, I plan to imbibe a variety of
alcoholic beverages while sporadically singing sea shanties until
either the sun goes down or I do!
Good luck to you all.. may you back a winner today! ;-)
Graeme.

What I'm trying to do is create an internal standard that says all messages
begin with a particular prefix. I'd like to be able to point to an IBM
document that supports the notion of, say, not writing messages to the log
that begin "DFH" or some such.
I seem to remember reading that IBM recommended user applications that issue
WTOs should prefix their messages with a "U". I've been back and forth over
the MVS bookshelf, the MVS System Messages particularly, along with the WTO
documentation. I can't find this anywhere, did I just dream it? Can anyone
point me at the document that says if I'm issuing a WTO I should prefix it
with a "U" to avoid clashes with IBM messages?
