  *                      This will allow the user to define /    *
  *                      setup a prefix that suits their         *
  *                      standards via TSO/E command:            *
  *                                                              *

  *                      Note that issuing the TSO PROFILE       *

  *                      For example:                            *
  *                      If the user issues:  TSO PROFILE        *
  *                      PREFIX(abc)  where abc is some site-    *
