You also answered a question for me: would this be a good idea in my shop? The 
messages about missing SYS1.BRODCAST would generate a flurry of calls to the 
help desk, generating a gaggle of problem tickets. For me, not the worth the 
cacophony. But thanks for experimenting.

Answering my own question:

Yes, you can run *WITHOUT* a SYS1.BRODCAST dataset. 

You will receive a couple of messages at logon time indicating SYS1.BRODCAST 
cannot be allocated.
The logon will proceed and the user BROADCAST dataset will be handled normally.


Thanks to all that responded.

Subject: SYS1.BRODCAST

I recently converted to TSO/E user logs and IPL'ed.
All is working but I still have an allocation for SYS1.BRODCAST by *MASTER*.

I *DID* check MSTJCL00 and the SYSLBC DD statement is not present.

The only trace I can find of SYS1.BRODCAST is in the GRSRNL list.
RNLDEF RNL(EXCL) TYPE(SPECIFIC) QNAME(SYSDSN) RNAME(SYS1.BRODCAST)

Q. Is anyone out there running *WITHOUT* a SYS1.BRODCAST dataset?   If so, what 
is necessary to accomplish this?
