Using quotes around the DSNAME will allow any combination of Hex chars for a Dsname I think (possibly excluding 44X'04' which represents the VTOC). However these are not supported for SMS datasets, nor can they be catalogued, nor can they be protected by RACF. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1

Why the use of data set names enclosed with apostrophes, that are not TSO oriented? Back in the days when I was doing DOS to MVS migrations, to access certain DOS data sets, you needed this because they could contain names like this: 'PAYROLL STR 12MAY75' for either a Tape label or disk DSN.
