While I strongly agree with Bob, I will add that IF you feel the need to go down this path, there is a Dynamic Allocation Exit (IEFDB401) that you could use to accomplish this. The exit will require a detailed understanding of dynamic allocation, as well as an understanding of the various environments that this can be used in (not limited to interactive TSO), so I would reccomend avoiding this path.

Years ago I sent inordinate time trying to protect things like this. Educate your users and encourage them to be productive. Show them the advantage of using ALTLIB. If they free SYSPROC/SYSEXEC and then can't function, close the problem as a user error. They'll catch on quickly.
