Sorry, but I have to ask this: What do you mean by a transient SVC?

In days gone by, I remember that SVCs had to have specific names, so the last char of the SVC could be a "non" printable name (hazy memories of this from having to fix/patch an SVC).

I know that DOS, DOS/V* had transients that we (DOS to MVS migration teams), in some cases had to turn into an SVC for use in MVS.

Just trying to remember how some of this stuff used to work/be done.

For transient SVC name it was a trailing  C0; I was just contrasting member 
names with index levels. I guess that IBM decided to eliminate an alleged 
ambiguity between member name and relative generation.
