No, all dataset allocation (catalog, VTOC, etc) is all done by the Initiator, before the program is given control (disp=(NEW/OLD/SHR,anything,anything)). Disposition is done again by the Initiator after the program has returned control (disp=(anyting,KEEP/CATALOG/DELETE/PASS-for-normal-termination,KEEP/CATALOG/DELETE/PASS-for-abnormal-termination)). The program is provided with a ready made bed where all datasets are available and it only needs to open them if it desires to do so. If datasets cannot be made available by the Initiator, the job gets a JCL error and the program is never given control.
