If a data set is allocated to a users ISPF session and it runs out of space 
(e.g. the ISPF PROFILE), the usual remedy is to reallocate a bigger data set, 
copy the old one into it, exit to the TSO READY prompt, delete the original 
data set and rename the new (bigger) one back to the old name. If users can't 
get to the READY prompt and therefore can't do this for themselves, it means a 
lot of time will be wasted, both for the users and for whoever it is they have 
to call to do the deleting and renaming for them.
 
I've worked at places that have very tight security restrictions (such as banks 
and governments) but I've never seen anyone block users from getting to the 
READY prompt. To me this seems overly restrictive and perhaps might cause more 
problems than it solves.
