I misspoke in my original post. The three-qualifier data set names were our own choice to preserve the ServerPac qualifier but still fit into our naming standards. It was not a whimsical choice. We have 7 SAF-plexes to maintain. Introducing even one new HLQ means a lot of work to make all seven work for us. So at first we appended SYS1 to the front, making a three qualifier name with no SAF prep work required. Eventually we decided that the ServerPac HLQ was pointless and just removed it in subsequent releases. All data sets are now SYS1.xxxxxxxx with the necessarily unique llq that SMPE knows.
So my real question is whether you set up and maintain the ServerPac HLQs or just drop them as we do? As I said earlier, I don't see any benefit worth the trouble they are to manage. . .
