If the volume you specify is an SMS-managed volume, the catalog *will*
be searched for the dataset.

Ah, good point. I forgot about the SMS impact.
Point your volser to a non-SMS-managed volume
for this process to work.

If you specify DSN=DOES.NOT.EXIST the catalog will be queried to find
the volser. If no catalog entry is found, JCL error. However, you specify DSN=DOES.NOT.EXIST,VOL=SER=VOLXXX and VOLXXX is online, it will work.
