I tried it. If the data set is SMS controlled, it gets uncatalogued. And
there's a significant difference in the allocation messages from the PASSing
step. For the non-SMS case:
IEF236I ALLOC. FOR UNCAT STEP2
IEF237I 3CC0 ALLOCATED TO DD2
IEF142I UNCAT STEP2 - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000
IEF285I user.PASSED.DATASET PASSED
IEF285I VOL SER NOS= volser.
... and the SMS case:
IEF236I ALLOC. FOR UNCAT STEP2
IGD103I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME DD2
IEF142I UNCAT STEP2 - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000
IGD106I sms.prfx.PASSED.DATASET PASSED, DDNAME=DD2
Note the IEF237I vs. IGD103I, and IEF285I vs. IGD106I.

Ain't MVS wonderful! I doubt any other OS provides such a variety of
surprising and interesting behaviors. It's no wonder some consider
operationg systems lacking such features "radically immature".
