That's probably a mistake. In JCL, I'm repeatedly frustrated
that I can't code "//HOME DD PATH='/u/&SYSUID',..." to refer
to an arbitrary user's HOME directory.
OTOH, JCL would much benefit from a predefined JCL symbol,
&SYSHOME expanding to the user's HOME directory from the
RACF OMVS segment. In Rexx, it's easy enough: it's among
the values set by "SYSCALL getpwuid".
And allocation would likewise benefit from the ability to
code relative paths and tilde expansion.
