The "modern" way is that in a managed dataset environment (on z/OS in
our shop at least) you cannot allocate an uncataloged dataset. Even in
batch, DISP=(NEW,KEEP) produces the same result as DISP=(NEW,CATLG).
Also, in PDF 3.2, option "U" (Uncatalog a data set) receives the
message, "Managed data sets cannot be uncataloged."

So, as far as I know, you may be stuck with IEHPROGM.
