Jim, Since you "have their ear", it would be really nice if the "Format 1 DSCB" which describe the partitions were to be marked RECFM=FB,LRECL=4096,BLKSIZE=4096,DSORG=PS and "RACF Indicated" and "Write Password Required". Why? It would make it a bit easier to access the DSN from the MVS side for backup. The "Write Password Required" bit would stop all but the stupidest of MVS sysprogs from actually trying to update the data set from MVS. And the stupidest would likely not know how to get around it <hee hee>.
