Many thanks.  Several people suggested I change the disposition of the
work dataset to (NEW,DELETE,CATLG) so I could see it when the job
failed.  This may help, although as someone suggested, SMS allocates
datasets to different packs when they may be permanent.
 
Han had one of the earliest helpful responses and a good .SIG.  Melvin
had an excellent explanation of just how IBM interprets 16 extents these
days (2 <= IBM 16 <= 16) and mentioned the CONTIG option
SPACE=(CYL,(20,30),CONTIG) to force either a more traditional
interpretation of 16 or an abend.
