MAXOWN field in the TSS LIST(RDT) output is not a RDT keyword. It is a display field and not modifiable.

To set the value in the display field  MAXOWN, you would use the MAXLEN keyword.

If you want MAXOWN to show 17, then specify MAXLEN(17).

MAXLEN not only controsl what is displayed in MAXOWN but also MAXPERMIT.

So MAXLEN(17) also means that the longest resource name for that resource class can only be 17.

The largest value MAXOWN can have is 26. So if you specify MAXLEN(45),

MAXOWN will display 26 and MAXPERMIT will show 45. This means you can own upto 26 character but PERMIT upto 45 characters.

ATTR(LONG) will give you MAXOWN(26) and MAXPERMIT(44).

ATTR(SHORT) will give you MAXOWN(8) and MAXPERMIT(8).

MAXLEN will override LONG and SHORT.
