The DISP is NOT needed for a "step only" work file / data set. So during
DEALLOCATION at step end, this type of data set just goes away.
Indeed. And for good measure, I'd whack the z/OS (...OS/360?) designer
who decided that the proper behavior in this case is to KEEP but not
CATLG the data set. I'd have made CATLG without DSNAME a JCL syntax
error and never initiated the job.

Note: If there happens to be a catalog (UCAT) that supports SYS12048
I think the dataset WILL be cataloged.
