JES2 has always supported proclib data sets that were not cataloged in the master catalog by specifying unit and volser. Many shops have non-mcat dsns in their JES2 procs (or PROCLIB statements) and don't have a problem. It also depends on how / when you start JES2 in your IPL. For example, if you start it with automation, by then the CATALOG ASID is functioning and usercatalogs are available to find proclib data sets that are not in the master catalog. Search the archives.... LNKLST data sets require volser if they are not in the master catalog. LNKLST dsns are added to / controlled by LLA by default, but LLA /= LNKLST.
