"In one sense, TSO userids have always 'tied up' 8 bytes, but the

third party processes as well. Even the structure of UADS for a user
is set of multiple members named as userid+digit, which requires an
id of 7 characters or less."
Uh no. In a couple of major TSO cblocks, it's a 7 character field
FOLLOWED by the length field...
Examples:
PSCBUSER DS CL7 USERID PADDED RIGHT WITH
BLANKS 03-IKJPSCB
PSCBUSRL DS CL1 LENGTH OF
USERID 03-IKJPSCB
and
UPTPREFX DS CL7 DSNAME
PREFIX Y02669 03-IKJUPT
UPTPREFL DS BL1 LENGTH OF DSNAME
PREFIX Y02669 03-IKJUPT
