Sorry to contradict you but as far as I remember there is a way:
 
If you own Vesoft's MPEX, there is a command you can use to say for
example "If dataset capacity reaches 80%, put that back to 60%).
Vesoft is then using Adager to do it...
 
Here is a part of MPEX documentation:
-------------------------------------------
%DBADGALT
 
Syntax:   %DBADGALT dbfileset, ratio
 
Examples: %DBADGALT @.DB, .50
          %DBADGALT @.DB (DBSETFULLNESS>.8 and MODDATE>TODAY-30), 0.6
 
The %DBADGALT command uses ADAGER to change the capacity of IMAGE
datasets so that they are a given percentage full (this command will
only work if you own ADAGER, the "Adapter/Manager for IMAGE
Databases", a product of Adager).
 
For instance,
 
   %DBADGALT @.DB (DBSETFULLNESS>.8), 0.6
 
increases the capacity of all databases in the DB group that are
currently greater than 80% full so that they are only 60% full.
------------------------------------------
Hope it helps...
