Hi Richard,
I worked at a place where the SysProg-in-chief was an arrogant guy from
the Former Soviet Union.
His Userid was "A".
Regards,
David

due to name changes and the such. Rather he used Nxxxxxxx, where
"N" was for Number and "xxxxxxx" was a numeric value starting with 1 and being
incremented for the next userid. Since he was first in the shop, and he knew RACF, he set himself
up as N0000001, I was the next person hired, and I got N0000002.

I've seen various schemes used for creating up-to-eight-character userids, all
truncated as needed, of course. These are IDs I've had, won't tell ya where
each was (and omitting just firstname, just lastname, or intials):
1. First initial, last name, plus a number as needed: PSMITH, PSMITH1
2. Last name || first name, with number if necessary, but always including
first initial: SMITHIIP, or SMITHIP2 if needed
3. First three of last name, first two of first name, plus a number: SMIPH03
(I've always wondered how they'd deal with Kyle Fuchs or Tyrone Shipman)
4. First initial, last name, truncated to max of six with a two-digit number: I
was PSMITH87; friend was TSMITH99-we never found out what the next T. Smith
would get: would they reuse a hole, if any, or go to TSMIT100?
Anyone got any other variations? This is purely a curiosity item, no agenda.
