Thanks Ron. Another user emailed me privately about that DD statement (ACCIGN DD DUMMY), which of course was not set to the default value here, but I have actually heard back from my storage admins what the non-default value here really is, so now I can fill the file and keep it from extending.
Thank you all for your kind assistance and education of my ignorance.

Peter, Space constraint relief is part of the DATACLAS construct, not the Storage Class. These are the collective functions that will cause SPACE requests to be overridden, space reduction, and additional volumes to be added to you dataset. You will need to use a DATACLAS that has Space Constraint Relief and Override Space set to "NO". If ACC/SRS is the cause of the problem I recall there is a JCL statement that can be added to the step that will cause ACC/SRS to leave the datasets alone. However I don't remember what that DD statement is.

If you do a F DIF,STATUS from the SDSF console you should see if it is active and what components are active.

We have NULL. That bypasses volser assignment, but not all rules.
