The assumption that the user ID could be used as a handle for an interactive TSO session. There's no practical limit to the number of concurrent instances of the TSO TMP I can run under batch (plus one foreground). I even run ISPF that way (but I allocate ISPPROF to DUMMY). Is fear of sharing ISPPROF old bad habit? It was mentioned earlier in this thread that ISPPROF can now be shared. How does that work? Doesn't ISPF cache ISPPROF and write it back on exit, thereby obliterating changes that may have been made in sessions that exited earlier? We've disabled MIM's propagation of certain ENQs -- our testers in particular prefer not to logoff one system in order to be able to logon to another. Last session to exit wins. We're used to it. I have never heard of member corruption, and it's not Shmuel's dog. --gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
