It may seem like a minor change, but remember that LOCANY specifies where the UCB will be built. The system is currently IPLed with UCBs below the line. In order to honor the change, IOS would have to rebuild all UCBs above the line. I doubt that z/OS provides a service to accomplish this task transparently.
Moreover many dynamic changes are denied because ACTIVATE does not really 'modify' existing definitions. An 'update' involves delete+add. In order to delete, the object must be offline. I'm not an HCD/IODF maestro, but I don't of a simple way to implement this change. . . .
