System 390 connectivity to AS/400 'problem'

Good Morning,

We are using BPCS 405CD, although I don't believe that is pertinent.
This is probably an AS/400   - S/390  specific question rather than a BPCS 
question
but here'e the situation:

We are connecting a System 390 (mainframe) to an AS/400.
OS 390 (MVS) using TSO telenet client to the AS/400 telenet server.
The 'problem' is the workstation IDs are :  QPADEV0001, QPADEV0002, etc etc
Unfortunately BPCS takes only the first 8 characters of the workstation idea 
to build a data area for SFC500 ( and other programs). And the first 8 
characters means that 
many workstations that look unique do not have a unique data area ( 
SFQPADEV00)
We know how to solve the problem using PC's and Client Access.
But we have a lot of 'dumb' terminals around we do not want to throw away.... 
(yet).
Any suggestions ?

Peace,
Jim Barry
