No, but other assembler code can. The only limits on assembler code are your
authorization and the ability to get into supervisor state.

They are in the DFSMS shelf.

As a side point, I would suggest that you first code with DD statements before
playing with dynamic allocation.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
