Yes.  Abandon ALLOCATE and use BPXWDYN instead.

Use BPXWDYN( 'alloc {path|dsname}(...) ..' ) to allocate each
individual catenand.

Use the 'ddn(SYSLIB)' operand on the first catenand.  Omit ddn
and use 'rtddn(varname)' to retrieve the generated ddname of
each subsequent catenand.

Use BPXWDYN( 'concat ddlist(list-of-catenand-ddnames' ) to
perform the final concatenation.
