I am noy sure what you are looking for. A dataset will be created if it is included in the JCL as NEW,CATLG. The program running does not create the dataset. You can use IEFBR14 as the program. This program does nothing.

I still don't get it...

if you do
//job exec pgm=iefbr14
//dd1 dd dsn=x.y.z,disp=(new,catlg,catlg)

you can create a dataset... do you have a specific requirement for IDCAMS???

I don't know what you don't want to follow TheRexxGuy's suggestion, but anyway, here is the documentation on the IDCAMS ALLOCATE command.

Hi,

For creating vsam ds, go for IDCAMS commands, for non vsam ds
allocate via 3.2 option of ISPF menu or use IEFBR14.
