It will, unless you specify CONTIG on the SPACE parameter:
CONTIG
requests that contiguous space (tracks or cylinders) be
allocated for the primary space quantity - if CONTIG is
specified and contiguous space is not available, the job is
terminated with a "Space requested not available" message

Subject: SMS primary allocation
Hello all,
I was wondering if SMS needs like 600 CYL's as a Primary allocation and does
NOT have it will it used fragmented space on a given pack to "put together "
600 CYL's as a primary allocation?
Thank you ,
