OK, I know that there can be multiple TIOTs in a single address space. I know this because the documentation the IEFUJI says that it can do I/O to a data set either by doing a DYNALLOC on it, or by putting the DD in the initiator procedure.
So, have you ever wanted to run multiple, concurrent, executions of some program which does not accept an alternative DD name list? For instance, some in-house COBOL program. Wouldn't it be kind of nice to be able to specify some parameter, such as NEWTIOT=YES so that the program being attached would have its own, "private" TIOT & XTIOT, which would then propogate to any of its children TCBs which did not have a NEWTIOT=YES. Hum, it might even be nice to be able to list which DDs are to be "passed down", a bit like you can say whether or not to share a specific SUBPOOL with a subtask. That might be nice for something like SYSPRINT. Just running the idea up the flag pole to see who salutes. I don't really have much else to do any more.
