There is an old *convention* that uses that. I would question "almost all".
You may or may not choose to follow that convention. I have not used that convention in over 10 years. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Tony Thigpen Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2017 9:18 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: SYS3 datasets We have a staff z/OS systems programmer who claims that: "Almost all shops use the SYS3. HLQ to indicate third party software." So new software installs *have* to follow that "rule". (Past installs did not follow such a rule.) I am thinking that this "rule" is really just *his* rule. Opinions? How many other sites follow such a rule? -- Tony Thigpen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
