For HLQ's without a pdsmodel or psmodel configured, pass an undefined allocation over to DFSMS to handle it

This is useful for two reasons. 

1) With the current limitation of the dsadm createparm command not allowing its use only when USERID EQ HLQ, which is in itself a terrible restriction.
2) Without having a pdsmodel or psmodel configured for that HLQ, dsfs does not allow ANY new dataset allocations.

cd /dsfs/txt/nbhp
touch mark.test
touch: file "mark.test": EDC5121I Invalid argument.  

dsadm fileinfo -path .

PDS model              na
PS model               na

It would be vastly more useful to pass any new dataset allocations over to DFSMS where all dataset allocation decisions are already made using ACS routine logic.
