z/XDC used to keep track of certain control data via ENQs. The RNAMEs all were control data that started with an identifying keyword followed by specific data. I could then use GQSCAN to search for and return all instances of a desired control data type simply by specifying a GENERIC scan for the first n bytes of the RNAME.
We still have software that does this. It's immensely useful to be able to list objects that have been created for your task, address space, system, or sysplex. ENQ/GQSCAN/ISGQUERY does this nicely. Name/Token? Not so much (or at all).
