That came out incomplete... I think I was trying to say something like DISP=(...CATLG...) prompts a quick check for a quoted DSNAME, rather than the full check early for catalogue-compliant DSNAME, since the compliance check is somewhat more complex, with requirements for >= 8-character chunks, each of which starts with an alphanat character, and so on.
