Maybe I'm missing the obvious but I've coded many jobs as //ddname DD DISP=(,PASS),DSN=&&ddname.step1.blah.blah in step1 followed by: //ddname DD DISP=(,PASS),DSN=&&ddname.step2.blah.blah in step2 followed by: //ddname DD DISP=(,PASS),DSN=&&ddname.step3.blah.blah in step3

What can one expect? I disagree. If you want to assign DSN, you can do it. Of course system will treat it as regular permanent dataset. ...so what? In DFSMS era it's enough to create in ACS routines some "eyecatcher", like LLQ=TEMP. Last, but not least: the name is generated, because user doesn't care what the name is, one doesn't need to know the name.
