​This DD simply looks weird to me. When I want to restore to a non-SMS
volume, I select the exact volume that I want and use the JCL

//OUTDD DD DISP=SYSALLDA,DISP=OLD​,VOL=SER=volser

Without knowing both the DASD mount status of their volumes and the
customer's ACS routines, I can't say for certain whether the OUTDD will
select a PUBLIC/STORAGE mounted non-SMS volume or if the ACS routines will
see that it is for a temporary data set and allocate it to an SMS manage
storage group which is used for temporary data sets (this is what the ACS
routines here would do). In addition, the given JCL will select a volume
which has at least 2000 tracks on it, but then will "use up" those tracks
and thus perhaps "use up" all the available space on that volume. Most
unusual and confusing to me.

The unfacts, did we have them, are too imprecisely few to warrant our
certitude.
