Hi,

Is it possible to change the Profile Prefix of a user id that does not have a TSO segment defined.
I think profile prefix is used exclusively for TSO logons.
And for this id without a TSO segment can i set the profile prefix(userid).
I am not sure if it is possible or not.

Regards,

What do you want the profile prefix for if the user cannot login to TSO?

The id does listc in batch and the output is affected due to absense of a prefix.
We can try different listc combinations.
However i want to know if there is a way to add a prefix without the tso segment.
Please advise.

It sounds like you need a TSO segment. Is there a reason why you cannot have it?

It seems simpler just to add a TSO segment rather than to fight against it to solve that problem, plus the next one, and so on.

The LISTCAT command can be coded with the LEVEL parameter to specify another qualifier than the user prefix. I suggest you check that out first.

For some reasons TSO segment is not allowed for such ids.

That was my point... this id is not one of -those- ids. This one needs it.

Ok, the output of Listc lvl gives a page title on all the pages as:
LISTING FROM.. Catalog Name

It appears an all the pages. And if there is a prefix the complete output comes together without page intervals.

Hello,

Maybe it will help if you post what you "have" and what you would rather have. . .

Also, if the system does (or is going to) use XMITIP, this situation (or something quite similar) can cause problems. . .

The output of any listc( with level or any other parameter) has a title on top of every page:
LISTING FROM CATALOG -- MCATDV.#DEVTST
This is the caser with NOPREFIX.

However when there is prefix the output is contiguous with no page titles.

First is what have, second is what i want to have.
What i want to do? Change the default NOPREFIX of id to something, without TSO segement.
Not sure how?
