I was going through my SMFPRMxx for the first time in a very long time,
and found the following comment I'd left for myself:

/* 
 *  SMF RECORDING DATASETS SHOULD RESIDE IN THE MASTER CATALOG. 
 *  (THE DOCUMENTATION DOES NOT EXPLICITLY SAY THIS.)  IT APPEARS
 *  TO BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE THEM IN A USER CATALOG IN R1.3, BUT 
 *  GREG DYCK -- MVS DEVELOPMENT -- RECOMMENDS AGAINST THIS AS 
 *  OF MID 1998.  HE SAYS THE SMF ADDRESS SPACE CAN WIND UP 
 *  ALLOCATING YOUR USER CATALOG FOREVER. 
 */ 

Can anybody tell me if this is still so?  Against my own advice, I've
had SMF.&LCLSYSID.MANx datasets in a usercat for years and years, never
having a problem.  I hate going against Greg's advice, but it *is* 12
year old advice after all.
