NFS server attribute to list or suppress migrated datasets

We would like an attribute made available to NFS that would allow us the option to either list or suppress migrated datasets, currently users listing mainframe datasets via an NFS mount are presented with not only datasets presently on disk, but also hundreds of migrated datasets.

    In response to your question, yes we have already tried these parameter options, but this does not stop the migrated dataset list from being presented to the user accessing the data via the NFS mount.

    Currently z/OS NFS supports the retrieve, noretrieve, wait, and nowait processing attributes to deal with migrated data sets. Have you attempted to use these attributes to deal with the issue?
