Well, yeah, it has to be temporary -- you can't catalog a dataset in VIO! SVC 99 will let you allocate a temporary dataset -- I think it was a back-reference you were trying to do before? That won't work.
IIRC the basic SVC 99 temporary dataset strategy is to omit the DSN key. What are you trying to do? Allocate a dataset that will be used in turn by two programs that you will call, like an assembler and the binder? That works just fine. Just choose a DD name, or let SVC 99 choose one, and pass that name to both programs. You may or may not want to specify UNIT=VIO. I think the usual technique these days is to let SMS pick a unit type. It may well pick VIO for a temporary dataset.
