I do each at various times. From a non-Z client you may have to do QUOTE 
locsite ...

Has worked since late OS/390 AFAIR.

Be aware that SITE lrecl etc. does not work with FTP to DD:, only with FTP 
allocation by DSN.

I never, Ever, EVER use pre-allocated targets. Never!

Instead, I issue LOCSITE or SITE (depending on which side of the "pipe" 
I'm on). Example:

locsite recfm=fb lrecl=80 primary=10 secondary=10 tracks
