Clearly, but why prohibit cataloguing 'FOO.BAR'?

The DISP requests cataloging, but the quotes specify not to catalog (by convention). As the request is self-contradictory, the system takes the path of least resistance - let the job run, and don't do anything to the catalog. Might as well ask why data set names used on PROCs have to be quoted.
