Allow definition of user's PREFIX in RACF TSO segment

Currently, a TSO User's prefix defaults to USERID.  This is not suitable in all environments
I would like the ability to specify a PREFIX in the TSO segment (for example, to set this to the user's DEFAULT group).
The prefix is stored in the UPT Control-Block, but this cannot be updated via RACF administration.

    This item is a valid requirement but unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the TSO/E product plan.

    The user may have the ability to change their prefix, but security access to that HLQ can be restricted.
    Currently, having the userid as the default requires a unique security profile for each user, and a catalog entry for each user. This is a huge administrative overhead.

    Currently, we set the default prefix via a logon script, but the ability to set this in the RACF profile would be far more appropriate for us.

    We do not see a Business justification, could you provide one?
    The user has the ability to set and maintain his own prefix, so if the system has set one, they could change it. There currently is no administrator function to set and maintain this field. An exit can be used to implement this.
    At this point this looks like it would be low priority item.
