Yep, understand that. But that wasn't the question. The question is why some (most?) TSO commands are working fine under an 8 char userid, whereas some like CONSOLE obviously don't. It's mostly my own curiosity to understand the internals (if not OCO :-) We'll either find a way to use a 7 char userid in this case, or to use some other mechanism to issue MVS commands. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
