This sort of thing depends on the utility.  For example,
AMATERSE PARM=UNPACK refuses to deal with //SYSUT1 DD PATH=...

But I can fool it with:
    //SYSUT1  DD UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(TRK,0),RECFM=...
    //        DD PATH=...
And it works!

Go figger.

Some utilities make needless validity checks, then neglect to
check all catenands.
