Not just desirable, but expected.
Had it been up to me, ISPF would support Perl regex syntax, including named

Frank,
It might be as simple as the DYNALLOC in cob2 is not using the REUSE parameter
to reuse an existing DD. You could also simply wrap the invocation of cob2
with a TSO "FREE FI(SYSPRINT)" and after cob2 "ALLOC FI(SYSPRINT) DA(*)".

Since it was deleted with recovery you should define a new catalog and then do

I'd advise an RFE for cob2 to work properly when there is a preallocated
