True, last one wins always. This is WAD, not BAD.


Actually, the behavior is controlled by settings in the ISPF Configuration Dialog or SHRPROF command. Last one wins is a default, and a good one. But feel free to chose others.

A)Code/install ISPF EXIT 16 to change the name of the ISPPROF dataset being 
used to something image specific.

This is what I did. No problemo anymore with unneeded ISPPROF dsn changes by 
LPAR specific applications.


Bad idea from an ISPF Edit Recovery standpoint. In a unique profile environment, if USERA on SYSA edits a dataset and goes into recovery, then USERA on SYSB later edits the same dataset, then goes back to A, gets the recovery, and then saves it, all changes from the SYSB session are lost. If you share datasets across LPARs, you should share the ISPF profile across those same LPARs.

As an aside, if you're using exit 16 to build your profile name, you should move that logic into your TSO logon exec.
