1. There's nothing special about SYSTSPRT. It's only relevance is
that the TMP in batch creates a stack element for the ddnames
SYSTSIN and SYSTSPRT.
2. Your JCL determines what is allocated. There's nothing in TSO
that allocates any hardwired ddname.
3. You can allocate a ddname to the terminal both in JCL and in
dynamic allocation. QSAM doesn't depend on the ddname being
SYSTSIN or SYSTSPRT.
