>Ah, you're right. It's when I execute a command from the shell that the digit is added to the end of the "jobname". I.e. the shell itself runs under "USERID", but when I do a "sleep 60s", the sleep command runs under "USERID1" (for example).
Every command that the shell fork()s will run in a separate AS, so the jobname rules apply. Also, every command the shell spawn()s when _BPX_SHAREAS is neither "YES" nor "MUST", and spawn cannot honour it, will run in a separate AS, so the rules apply. Commands run as local process, i.e. spawn() can honour "YES" or "MUST", will run in the same AS, so under the same jobname. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
