An OMVS segment must be defined for the TSO user that is going to be
running Altair SLC, or a default OMVS segment must be defined. In both
cases a Hierarchical File System (HFS) must be defined and the home

space requirement for this home directory unless it is intended specifically
to use this location from Altair SLC.
