From a recent experiment:
READY
allocate dsn('sys1.maclib','sys1.modgen')
IKJ56700A ENTER FILE NAME -
foo
READY allocate dsn('sys1.maclib')
READY
Empirically, if I allocate a single data set, ALLOCATE generates a
DDNAME; if I allocate multiple data sets, I must supply a DDNAME.
(Have I inferred the rule correctly?) I find no mention of such a
restriction in TFM:

Is there any plausible rationale for this distinction?
