>>I don't think so. You can mask any filtlist (I do all kinds, db2 >>datasets, tso, ftp, ftpusers, etc). The include would be masked with the

Where I've had the need for a filter list of user ID's, I used a name like &USER_ID or &AUTH_USER, etc. >From the manual: "z/OS V1R9.0 DFSMS Storage Administration Reference (for DFSMSdfp, DFSMSdss, DFSMShsm)" 1.16.3 Read-Only Variables Most ACS variables are read-only. Read-only variables contain data set and system information, and they reflect what is known at the time of the allocation request. You can use read-only variables in comparison operations, but you cannot change their values. Attention: In the data class ACS routine, the &DSNTYPE, &DSORG, &MAXSIZE, &NVOL, &RECORG, and &SIZE variables all default to null if no corresponding value is specified in the JCL. Some values of the &DSNTYPE variable are set from values on the DD statement or dynamic allocation. All of the read-only variables appear in Table 22. The read-only variables are case sensitive. The following pages explain the uses of the read-only variables. Table 22. Read-Only Variables &ACCT_JOB &ACCT_STEP &ACSENVIR &ALLVOL &ANYVOL &APPLIC &BLKSIZE &DD &DEF_DATACLAS &DEF_MGMTCLAS &DEF_STORCLAS &DSN &DSNTYPE &DSORG &DSOWNER &DSTYPE &EXPDT &FILENUM &GROUP &HLQ &JOB &LABEL &LIBNAME &LLQ &MAXSIZE &MEMHLQ &MEMLLQ &MEMN &MEMNQUAL &MSPDEST &MSPARM &MSPOLICY &MSPOOL &MSVGP &NQUAL &NVOL &PGM &RECORG &RETPD &SECLABL &SIZE &SYSNAME &SYSPLEX &UNIT &USER &XMODE . . . . &USER The user ID of the person allocating the data set. When DFSMShsm invokes the ACS routines, &USER is either the requestor of the recall or recover, or the user ID of the DFSMShsm address space. If the environment is recall or recover, the variable is set only if the requestor of the recall or recover is not a DFSMShsm authorized user.
