Hi , I dont think there is any point in thin provisoning dasd... If you think about it the first thing you do to a dasd is dasdfmt... meaning dasd space will be all used up the minute you format the volume.
There could be a nice feature for edevices... but most storage array aleady give you thin provisioning in the open world...
