Resources Longer than Eight Characters

If you have an existing resource that you want to own which is longer than eight characters:

• Revoke and remove all users of that resource class
• Remove the resclass from the RDT
• Re-create the resource class
• Create user-defined resources to support ownership longer than eight characters. For example:

  TSS ADDTO(RDT) RESCLASS(resclass) ATTR(MASK)
  

• List the resource class to show several new features such as: a MASKABLE or NOMASK resource, a MAXOWN(nn) attribute displaying the maximum value for an ownable resource, and a MAXPERMIT(nnn) attribute displaying the maximum value for a permitted resource.
• Define lengths up to 255 characters with the MAXLEN(nnn) keyword. ATTR(LONG) implies MAXLEN(44). ATTR(SHORT) implies MAXLEN(8).
