More curious:
Suppose I use JCL DD, or SVC 99, or BPXWDYN to allocate DD=SYSIN,
FREE=CLOSE, DISP=DELETE.  Then I JCL EXEC or TSO CALL an authorized
program which OPENs SYSIN for INPUT, READS, and CLOSES it.  Will the
CLOSE free and delete it?  Which component, at what point ensures that I
have RACF permission to delete that data set?

Similar question for /bin/tso which supports "allocation requests"; environment
variables containing strings eerily similar to BPXWDYN arguments.  The Ref.
hints but doesn't directly say that /bin/tso invokes BPXWDYN to perform the
allocations.
