Is it possible to create a dataset using JCL without specifying space parameters?
Thanks in Advance

Based on above thread, i have a question. Can you please clarify, if the below dataset information shows that the data class is not defined (also not defaulted). It is the dataset information at my shop.
Data Set Information
Command ===>
More: +
Data Set Name . . . . : APROD.CICSOCRT.EPAC.TRANS.G1111V00
General Data Current Allocation
Management class . . : RETGDG1 Allocated cylinders : 1
Storage class . . . : WORK Allocated extents . : 1
Volume serial . . . : SORT04
Device type . . . . : 3390
Data class . . . . . : **None**
Organization . . . : PS Current Utilization
Record format . . . : FB Used cylinders . . : 0
Record length . . . : 300 Used extents . . . : 0
Block size . . . . : 3000
1st extent cylinders: 1
Secondary cylinders : 100 Dates
Data set name type : Creation date . . . : 2013/02/25
SMS Compressible. . : NO Referenced date . . : 2013/02/25
Expiration date . . : ***None*** When I tried creating a dataset with out a SPACE parameter, z/OS throws JCL error saying that SPACE attributes are missing.

Well, I'd go for "yes", but I think it is deliberate. Why are you trying to use a Storage Class which if fairly likely set aside for "Sort Work Datasets"? Name is WORK, volume is SORT04.
If you put something "permanent" in this class, there is a danger that someone from "production control"/"storage management" will visit you carrying a large hammer and ask you "fingers or keyboard?"
