It does make sense, because IBM's security products can allow you to change or create datasets with certain HLQs (High Level Qualifier, the first part of a dataset name) such as your userid.?
And TSO commands have useful defaults for the last part (.ASM, .PLI, .LOAD, .CNTL, .CLIST), so it makes to have options for the bit in between :-)

Thank you all for the explanations.
So it boils down to "IBM made it up" :)? when it mapped these notions of "department", "project", "tool" ("type") to the 44 characters of DSNAMEs.? Is that right?
One uses the "OTHER DATA SET" section when s/he wants to access DSs that have been named using a different scheme.
Apart from that, is there some more documentation about RFE? E.g., in the "OTHER DATA SET" what is the "'DATA' OPERAND"?
