I would do the same for HFS files for OMVS. You may want to use a system HLQ instead of userid. Users don't need access to user HFS / zFS file system data sets, only the sysprogs / storage admins do. In one of our sysplexes we changed that when we migrated to zFS for user file systems. There is a documented possible security exposure if you use the userid as the HLQ.
