Yes, running in Key 8, it could be possible to allocate [E]CSA storage, however, you still need to be either running under an APF authorized job step task or running in supervisor state, which is not common when C/C++ applications are running. Also, there is no option to tell C/C++ to use a specific subpool for storage, so even if authorized, an assembler routine, a Dignus C program with inline assembler or possibly a METAL/C program that issues a STORAGE macro would be required.

However it's possible to allocate CSA/ECSA while running in key8. Since z/OS R8 or R9 you can deny such kind of allocations. Before it was an undocumented option.
