The directory name keeps the case as referenced.
/home/test1 or /home/TEST1

The MVS DSN is
        <uc_name>       TEST1.ZFS.PROD
        <asis_name>     test1.ZFS.PROD
Since MVS DSNs are not case sensitive, yet, they result is the same.

In addition, if user test123 uses test1 and user test456 uses TEST1 at the same 
time, the mount will fail because the same file system cannot be mounted rdwr 
on different mount points.
I am not sure if the restriction applies if it is mounted read.

After reading John's reply, I see that I may have misunderstood your question.

<uc_name> does refer to the directory that you described. However, that 
directory name in the mount point is not uppercased, only the directory name in 
the filesystem name.

Sorry for any confusion.
