Actually I don't mind z/OSMF now, but just like the infancy of serverpac, like originally not allowing dataset name changes on what were deemed IPL datasets and other changes I needed for my shop, IBM cant assume everything works as their test environment does or that space is unlimited.
If they decide not be flexible, so be it, I can edit the JCL and have my work around like before.
