Problem Note 61339: Support for 8-character user IDs under z/OS
 |  |  |  |
Before z/OS 2.3, TSO user IDs could be from 1 to 7 characters in length. Beginning in z/OS 2.3, TSO user IDs can be from 1 to 8 characters in length.
This change does not affect batch SAS® sessions, SAS servers, or SAS spawners under z/OS. However, interactive TSO SAS sessions (DMS - Display Manager) fail to start in releases prior to SAS® 9.4 TS1M5 using 8-character user IDs.
Support for 8-character user IDs for interactive SAS sessions under z/OS is available starting in SAS 9.4 TS1M5.
