Do you use VM:Secure on those systems?
If so, I've previously posted a home-grown VM:Secure macro (thus, user
command) "INQUIRE", which will return most directory information
(obviously, not passwords or other security-related info) from the source
directory entry. I can post it again if anyone wants.

The syntax for INQUIRE is:

Provides users with information about their or other's directory
entry without the need to enter VMSECURE menus.

In our case we have an EXEC that set up a GUEST region (OS) with a
requested store. If we just believe the requestor, and the amount they
request is too large, we loose control. So, we try to validate the request
before we action it.
On 32bit VM we used to define 2047M (more than that gave a different
message) but now, on 64 bit Z/VM, we define 9999M as we are unlikely to
have a user larger than that. However, I do agree with Greg that 16E is
probably the best option.
