I use /SMPE/zone, where zone = my SMPE zone name (zone name = sysres volser for MVS), and I use automount to control /SMPE. I only use /Service while loading the ServerPac, so I have no concerns overwriting anything. I have no desire for IBM to change the process.

It would be a bit smarter if the default was something unique for each order /service/orderno (with 'orderno' being the actual order number or maybe /service/zos/orderno /service/cics/orderno Yes I know we can all change it (how many do), but how much better would it be if IBM led the way and suggested a more practical approach, with less risk of overwriting the wrong filesystem.
