That was not my intention. I don't represent the HR dept where I work so didn't want to seem as thought I did and I like keeping my work email as clean as possible. I just know we are currently looking and thought some may be interested in a position that was not contract and with no need to relo

I know of RACF/ACF2/TSS databases with over 1 million userids, <1% of these would be used for TSO logon however. I would expect there are systems with over 10 million userids. In the past IBM has released benchmarks of z/OS with over 100,000 concurrently active network connections, and that would
