Well I'll be darned! The EC 4.1 P/G has a section called "Dynamically creating QSAM files" which talks about a run-time option CBLQDA that will take care of missing DD statements and then adds cryptically "Do not confuse this implicit allocation mechanism with the explicit dynamic allocation of files by means of environment variables. Explicit dynamic allocation requires that a valid environment variable be set." That seems to be about all they say. ???
