I was able to set up a situation that generated a similar, but not
identical, error message when I issued the SUB command:

 ISPF system data set allocation error - press Enter to continue.
 Temporary control card data set cannot be allocated.
 DAIR RC = 12 dec, DARC = 970C hex.
 ***

That was with my TSO profile set to NOWTPMSG.  If I reset it to WTPMSG the
cause of the problem is obvious:

ICH408I USER(BSB945  ) GROUP(DX95    ) NAME(LEAHY, DON          )
   DXXX.BSB945.SPFTEMP0.CNTL CL(DATASET ) VOL(STRD17)
   DEFINE - RESOURCE NOT PROTECTED
 ISPF system data set allocation error - press Enter to continue.
 Temporary control card data set cannot be allocated.
 DAIR RC = 12 dec, DARC = 970C hex.
 ***

Do you have WTPMSG turned on?  (It's a long shot, most people do).
