A long, long time ago ( 20 years), someone told me that the six-character
PAX number on an airline reservation was actually a TPF database record
locator. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

It definitely was at one point. That's why travel agents call it a record
locator.

A long, long time
Phil,
I'm not familiar with the term PAX number, but for at least 20 years,
United Airlines has referred to its six character (alpha-numeric) reservation
identifier interchangeably as a reservation number or a record locator. I
don't know whether that's an actual TPF record or just a term
As far as I remember it's always been known as a 'record locator'. And as far
as I remember on TPF it is the 'record locator'. But .. my memory maybe
questionable!

Going back to my Republic Airlines days (30 years) the ACP/TPF system called
these records PNR's for Passenger Name Records. When we deployed TPF at BofA
to handle ATM transactions (mid 80s'), a more generic term, Record locator
was eventually used. These records used to be written to tape
Fat fingered a ERASE command and nuked the PROFILE EXEC on a brand new system
(before I had VM:Backup configured). Anywhere I can get a copy of the file?

DISKACNT profile exec is the same for EREP and OPERSYMP. These 3 machines
