The first time it writes no data, guaranteeing an x37 shortly thereafter. IBM took an APAR. First they suggested secondary extents, then they agreed to provide a NORLSE option, with RLSE remaining the default, just to be inconsistent with almost all MVS allocation. cp() generates the RLSE TU only if the programmer specifies SPACE.
