Hmmmmm... I think most of the prior respondents to this thread may be a bit too much on point...

In my own work, I routinely auto-logon as many as nine separate TSO sessions (all onto the same LPAR of course, but each using a unique userid). I then make them "appear" to be the same userid by way of a PROFILE PREFIX(&SYSUID) command that is automatically issued (from a logon CLIST) at logon time. This causes all of the logons to access the same, common set of datasets and libraries.

For security management purposes, all of these userids are collected together into a single RACF group so that permissions assigned to the group are automatically propagated to the individual userids.

IHTH,
Dave Cole

A contractor who joined our team said that in his previous place of employment he could have multiple TSO sessions each of which used the same userid and password, so he used to have multiple instances of his TN3270 emulator running and a different TSO session in each.

I am curious to know how this is possible...can anyone explain?

My b/g is Cobol application development, so not versed with VTAM etc, so bear with me!
