I'm a bit confused. I think I have gotten lost in the postings. But something did get my attention:

If I have to change my profile's HLQ, and I'm running REXX in LPAR1 while also logged on on LPARs2-3, Won't that change done within that REXX affect the PROFILE in the other LPARs with their next read of the profile data? -- UNLESS those profile data sets are unique? This kind of thing really makes the profile have to be unique on each LPAR to avoid issues like this. Unless I'm missing something.

Hi Gil,
You said: "...It is no better than assigning multiple User IDs. ..." What's wrong with one person having more than one userid? Sometimes it is necessary. For example, one userid is running a TSO Command and the other is setting/changing system trace options or looking at dumps. At one of my jobs, the developers get 5 userids. Regards, David

Ouch!  Profile changes on any LPAR would not be effective on other LPARs.  Many (but not all) users would find this unacceptable. It is no
better than assigning multiple User IDs.

But<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=logons-duplicate> says:      ISPF profile sharing or changes to default ISPF data set names      might be needed to avoid errors in ISPF with multiple logons.      See z/OS ISPF Planning and Customizing for more details about
     configuring ISPF to support multiple logons.

"profile sharing"

But the referenced document is an abstract containing
a circular reference.  I'll submit a Feedback.
