The behavior has changed. Used to be in MVT and early MVS that something needed to drive allocation to take a device offline. I personally have *never* used DEALLOC. Just a simple 'S X' (with no proc behind it) from the console was sufficient.
Under OS/360 a 'S X' command without any proc was sufficient. MVS came with a DEALLOC proc, consisting of an IEFBR14 and comments cards explaining the use. I routinely assigned X as an alias to it.
