Vern,

The vast majority of shops separate development and production with 
library lists and have both on the same partition.  While you and I (and 
most folks) would agree that this is not the optimal solution, often 
times it's simply not possible to separate them.

Dave:

Is is possible in your back up routines to exclude those files from the 
save?  If you use BRMS (or Robot/Save for that matter) it's easy to do.  
If you use IBM base save commands you can alter your back up CL to 
exclude them as well.  They would not be needed in the event of a 
disaster recovery anyway so why back them up at all?   Now you aren't 
messing around with them, just not putting them to tape.  You could 
create a separate back up routine for the development portion of the 
system and run that after the production save as well.
