Yes, I also have placeholders for $PAGE$, $SPOOL$, $TDISK$, $DIRECT$ and
MVSDASD. But that is a different "best practices" item.

If you are trying to wipe out the label on an active page or spool
volume that is so allocated from 0 to end, you must work at it and it
must be intentional. Also, do you not create minidisks for the areas
allocated to PAGE or SPOL? That would include cylinder 0, so you would
still have that protection.
