That can work in some very restrictive cases, Ted, but not all cases.

Consider, for example, using a concatenation for SYS1.PARMLIB, say you have
SYS1.PARMLIB.A and SYS1.PARMLIB.B, concatenated in that order.

Further, suppose that user A should have UPDATE authority to members A1, A2,
and A3, while member B should have UPDATE access to members B1, B2, and B3.

Yes, you could put A1, A2, and A3 in SYS1.PARMLIB.A and give user A access
to only that data set.  And you could put B1, B2, and B3 in SYS1.PARMLIB.B
and give user B access to only that data set.

Problem: What stops user A from creating B1 in SYS1.PARMLIB.A?
