Uncontrolled environment after accessing OMVS

After accessing OMVS under TSO we are getting an uncontrolled environment and is necessary to logoff/logon in order tho have again a controlled environment.

We received the following message if we try to access any TSO application that requires a controlled environment:

BPXP015I HFS PROGRAM /bin/fomtlinp IS NOT MARKED PROGRAM CONTROLLED.

The reason is that if we use in OMVS a program without the Program Control attribute the dirty bit is set. The OMVS login program (/bin/fomtlinp) is not marked as Program Control. If we change the program Control attribute for this program, the dirty bit is also set in the following executed program, because most of the /bin programs do not have this attribute.

Our idea is to have a method to identify in RACF in wich OMVS paths or ZFS can trust, equivalent to PROGRAM ** for z/OS libraries.

We suggest some possible solutions:

- Add OMVS paths or ZFS in PROGRAM **
- Add a parameter to MOUNT command to instruct OMVS and RACF that the file system is controlled

    Invoking OMVS with the NOSHAREAS option creates a new address space which is isolated from TSO and will not cause it to become dirty. Note, the WLM classification of the new address space will not be associated with TSO and cannot be changed.
