What TSO SUBMIT does sort of made sense before RACF, but I regard it as a vestige of the dead past. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] on behalf of Wayne Bickerdike [wayn...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2020 9:44 PM We use max 7 char user IDS. Often I can't be bothered putting a job card on a quick job, TSO SUBMIT uses your user ID and asks for a character to add to the job. Since a jobname is limited to 8 chars, makes life simple. --- On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 8:21 AM Bob Bridges <robhbrid...@gmail.com> wrote: > MQ, TSO, CICS, IMS - whatever the environment, the ID has to be > authenticated by RACF (or ACF2, or TSS).
