There is no documented use of IDENTIFY that performs this function. All documented uses of IDENTIFY work on an already-created CDE (possibly LPDE too, I can't remember). Directed LOAD creates no CDE. If you do an IDENTIFY on something that is in LPA, and you are appropriately authorized, it creates a CDE on the active LPA queue.
