Peter, Thanks for your earlier info and corrections.
But everyone, PLEASE resist more discussions of the TLA on this thread. Re: BPXOINIT - do you find it surprising that in z/OS Unix that all processes don't inherit from pid=1 ? This is a PITA, since the environment variables established by BPXINIT will not be set in, say, a batch job that gets dubbed. How many places should, say, TZ settings be maintained? How should vendor applications that use z/OS Unix services get the installation defined environment variables?
