Silly me will ask: "Why not DISP=(NEW,DELETE)?"
TRANSCRIPT:

// SPACE=(TRK,1)

IEF236I ALLOC. FOR DOCMD9XX ALLOC
IGD101I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME (DD1 )

STORCLAS (SCTSO) MGMTCLAS (MCNOMIG) DATACLAS (DCSTD1)
VOL SER NOS= TD1367
I will also ask why you don't the ACSTEST facility in ISMF? We test changes
to ACS routines by using ISMF option 7 -- Automatic Class Selection. In
that menu, option 1 to EDIT the appropriate ACS source routine. Then option
2 to TRANSLATE it into a "testing" SCDS dataset (which had been previously
refreshed from the production one). Option 3 to VALIDATE it. And finally
option 4 to set up tests. And we keep a number of test members around to
validate that everything is working as we desire.
