| The IAO will ensure that if the STC is a Multi User Single Address Space System (MUSASS), the STC logonid has the MUSASS and NO-SMC attributes. If the started task (STC) is a Multi User Single Address Space System (MUSASS), the STC logonid will also have the following attributes: MUSASS NO-SMC Example: SET LID INSERT logonid STC MUSASS NO-SMC |
