Oh, you mean valid values for the name. I would expect standard z/OS JCL (and 
MVS before) up to 8 characters, uppercase letters, likely the Nationals are 
allowed. :) 

I bet it is in the JCL manual....
z/OS 
 
  MVS JCL Reference 
  
  Document Number SA22-7597-13

2.15.2 Subparameter Definition   
 
   data-class-name  Specifies the name of a data class to be used for 
allocating the data set.    The name, one to eight characters, is defined by 
the storage administrator at your installation.  

I guess, not really, but in section 4.2 Character Sets
