Yes. I'll only address those ways available to an unauthorized
program.
1. Use DYNALLOC. Even though Dynamic Allocation is documented in an
"authorized services" manual, it is available to unauthorized
programs.
2. Use Unix Systewm Services. Note that there may be an allocation
under the covers.

Look in the DFSMS bookshelf; the relevant documentation should have
"data sets" in the title.
