Almost, but no cigar.
'ABSTRK' is correct; it stands for space allocation using absolute [hardware]
tracks [track numbers]. It is of course radically device-dependent; I have
used it, but not in OS/PCP and its successors for, probably, 40 years.
It continued to be well known by name long after it had ceased to be much if at
all used because it figured prominently in error messages generated when SPACE=
syntax errors were made in DD statements.
