SYSDA? SYSALLDA? Whatever.
"Using Data Sets" mentions SYSDA only in examples; SYSALLDA not at all.
JCL Ref. mentions SYSDA only in examples, and:
SYSALLDA: IBM assigned group-names include SYSALLDA, which
contains all direct access devices defined to the system.
What does IBM recommend? (Perhaps in Init/Config/Admin?)
Aren't there better ways of allocating temporary data sets than by
relying on esoteric names? SMS guidelines?
(My site once genned a (never online) tape address in SYSALLDA.)
