I could go for your last: "limit SCP SCSI". But I would basically
extend it to anything which is FBA compatible. That is basically all
of VSAM. Which include z/OS UNIX filesystems by default because z/OS
UNIX filesystems are implemented via VSAM LINEAR data sets. And, if
that happened, I would really like it if IBM z/OS development would do
what VSE did long ago: make VSAM ESDS accessible via a QSAM interface.
They did that for ISAM programs long ago for VSAM KSDS data sets.
