Lots of reasons I'm sure. A couple I can think of (and one #1 I used): 1) Keep uneducated people (even fellow sysprogs) from allocating junk on the sysres (set). It gets "lost" when cloning (not cataloged to the IPL volume) Well.. not really lost until we re-clone over the volume that it was cataloged to, then it is lost. 2) Share a volume between environments not protected via a integrity manager like GRS or MII. One environment read/write, the other read only. #1 hasn't been a problem in a long time here, but I remember the days when people constantly put their personal JCL libraries on the sysres at other shops I've been at.
