I thought that I understood this option until a user came in. Researching this issue, I discovered, what everyone else probably knows but, Dynamic Vol addition doesn't occur if there's no secondary allocation requested, eg SPACE=(TRK,(10,0)). This was obfuscated by Syncsort's wannabee ICETOOL which appears to extend allocation and extents without Dataclas.
Just thought someone else may appreciate this peril.
