No. From OS/VS2 System Programming Library: Job Management VS2 Release
3, GC28-0627-0:
"Using an Existing Allocation
When successive processes usually require the same resource, the
overhead of releasing and reobtaining the resource can be avoided. For
example, time-sharing command processors often use the same data sets.
Therefore, the data sets are not dynamically unallocated at the end of
the command process, but are designated "not in use". This avoidsun
allocation and reallocation processing."
