Why not use a PARMLIB member with allowed/disallowed ranges in your solution?

Something like this:

ALLOW=0000-0100,5000-6000         * Live DASD
DISALLOW=0923,0C0B,0040-004F      * Defective things
MAXRANGE=16                       * MAX Unnn - MIN Unnn + 1
CONSOLE-ALLOW=0BC,0DE             * Consoles allowed for commands.

That MAXRANGE can prevent a large range to be used as a parameter for such V 
OFFLINE, commands
