Not sure if this applies to this issue, but I recall that TSO commands that issue TPUT will simply stop the rest of the commands in a Batch TSO job, but commands using PUTLOG work fine.

This is not true if you run TSO in batch (EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01, etc.). You can definitely run TSO commands under an 8 char userid, although you cannot *logon* to TSO. I do understand that a userid cannot have more than 7 chars to be a "valid" TSO userid, either by defining it in the UADS or by assigning it a TSO segment. I'd like to understand what inhibits the usage of some commands whereas most commands run without problems with 8 char userids. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
