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.
