It's not possible with ALLOCATE by itself.  But you can ALLOCATE an
uncataloged data set by itself to a separate DDNAME and then use
one of the "CONCAT" commands floating around to concatenate them
together (see http://www.cbttape.org).

Example:

ALLOC FI(NOTCAT) DA('dsn.not.catalog') +                     
     SHR REUSE UNIT(SYSALLDA) VOL(vvvvvv)                          
ALLOC FI(MYDD) DA('cat.dsn.#1' +                             
                  'cat.dsn.#2'    +                          
                  'cat.dsn.#3')  SHR REUSE                   
CONCAT   (MYDD,NOTCAT)                                       
OPENFILE MYDD INPUT
