We have a staff z/OS systems programmer who claims that:
"Almost all shops use the SYS3. HLQ to indicate third party software."
Don't think I've *ever* seen the SYS3 HLQ used by our customers for our
software. That doesn't mean nobody does it, just that I can't remember
having seen it done. (They normally use 'SYS2' or some non-SYS HLQ
altogether such as 'EJES' or 'ZHISR').
We use the SYSn (1-4) HLQs thusly:
* SYS1 - IBM data sets (e.g., SYS1.PARMLIB)
o Master catalog. Non-SMS
* SYS2 - PSI-maintained analogs to IBM's (e.g., SYS2.PARMLIB), usually
concatenated in front of IBM's
o Master catalog. Non-SMS
* SYS3 - System data sets (dynamic SVC dumps, etc)
o User catalog. SMS-managed
* SYS4 - System data sets (e.g., IPLPARM)
o User catalog. Non-SMS
