To further support what I wrote and what the defaults are, here is
some doc from the Authorized Assembler Services Guide about 
the SVC99 parameter list:    
                                                                     
26.4.4.24 SYSOUT Specification - Key = '0018'                         
                                                                      
DALSYSOU specifies that a system output data set is to be allocated   
and defines the output class of the data set. When you code this key  
and want a class other than the default, # and LEN must be one, and   
PARM contains the output class. To use the default output class, code 
zero in the # field; LEN and PARM are not specified. The default      
output class is determined as follows:                                
                                                                      
   From the OUTPUT DD statement, if present                           
   From the default message class, if there is no OUTPUT DD statement.
                                                                      
    DALSTATS, DALNDISP and DALCDISP                                   
    DALVLSER, DALPRIVT, DALVLSEQ, DALVLCNT, and DALVLRDS              
    DALQNAME                                                          
    DALSSNM, DALSSPRM, and DALSSATT                                   
                                                                      
Note:  Using DALSYSOU with any of these keys will cause dynamic       
      allocation to issue an error code 0380.                         
                                                                      
Example: To specify a SYSOUT data set in class A, code:               
                                                                      
  KEY   #     LEN   PARM                                              
  0018  0001  0001  C1                                                
                                                                      
Example: To specify a SYSOUT data set and to default the class, code: 
                                                                      
  KEY   #     LEN  PARM                                               
  0018  0000  -    -
