Now I really wonder why the ALLOCATE
verb even exists.
The first (and only) place I saw it used is was in the ServerPac allocate job
(and it
wasn't always that way). I don't know if it was originally developed for
ServerPac
use or not (but I'm sure John Eells knows).

Actually I'm to blame for the use of IDCAMS ALLOCATE in the Server Pack
allocate job. Prior to the use of IDCAMS I noticed that the allocation
of the thousand or so datasets in JCL was sucking up CPU time since it
ran at a dispatching priority of x'FE'.
I opened up an ETR with IBM Server Pac support and recommended the
IDCAMS ALLOCATE verb instead of PGM=IEFBR14.
