However, for the TSO/E ALLOCATE command, if all of the following is true: (1) you specify the DATASET or DSNAME operand (2) you do not specify the LIKE operand or any space operand (i.e. SPACE, TRACKS, CYLINDERS, BLOCK, or AVBLOCK) (3) you do not specify OLD, SHR, MOD, NEW, or SYSOUT then the status defaults to OLD.
