The JCL Ref. lists several DDNAMES not available for general use:
    Special ddnames
    The special data sets are identified by the following ddnames:
        JOBLIB 
        STEPLIB 
        SYSABEND 
        SYSCHK 
        SYSCKEOV 
        SYSIN 
        SYSMDUMP 
        SYSUDUMP

SDSF also shows me several (pseudo?) DDNAMEs such as
JESJCL, JESYSMSG, and JESMSGLG.  What happens if the
programmer attempts to override one of these, e.g. by
directing it to a catalogued data set or a UNIX file?

The JCL Ref. indicates that they are available to the
//*FORMAT PR statement.

("//*FORMAT PR" looks uncomfortably like a comment.  Is
this a reserved comment?  Ugh!)
