And, I guess, give a JCL error if the user does not have an OMVS segment, or no HOME directory specified in their OMVS segment. I agree this would be easier. But can be emulated with: PATH='/u/&SYSUID/file.ext' __if__ the HOME directory is in UPPER CASE. Unfortunately, as I have UNIX set up, the HOME directory use the RACF id after it has been converted to lower-case.
I pity any z/OS UNIX user whose RACF id contains a $ anywhere it in. /u/$racf/some.file will likely fail unless the environment variable "racf" is export'ed with a value of "$racf". I guess that the /etc/profile could be set up to export the environmet variable "racf" set to "$racf" and mark it READONLY. Which only helps in a shell. And a RACF id like: a$b would be a real terror to "fix" in /etc/profile. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
