I know that I personally don't like or recommend SMS-managed "system" volumes or data sets. But, I have never been able to locate "chapter and verse" where IBM make a similar recommendation. Just now, I searched the z/OS 1.7 MVS and DFSMS bookshelves to no avail. Where did you find this recommendation?
