I suddenly realized that the IEF237I 3D55 ALLOCATED TO SYS00001
message is coming out AFTER the step termination messages for STEP2. I did a little testing and found that STEP2 is irrelevant, even if it is deleted, the same messages occur after STEP1.
I am guessing that this is a dynamic allocation being done during job termination to delete passed temporary datasets. A SCRATCH may require a DD statment, but during job termination there are no longer any DDs allocated. Probably termination does the equivalent of //SYS00001 DD UNIT=SYSALLDA,VOL=SER=vvvvvv,DISP=OLD for the volume containing the temp dataset. This does not create a real dataset (nothing in the VTOC) but it does use a temporary dataset name as it allocates the disk volume. If I add 2 passed temp datasets, I get two allocations, SYS00001 and SYS00002 for the two volumes involved.
