hi,
is it possible to create a new pds without using 'using' clause, specifying its dcb parameters?

I am not sure, about the 'using' clause. Here is how you can allocate a PDS in REXX.
Code:

/* REXX */                                                   
                                                             
"alloc fi(mypds) da("TEST.MYPDS") new recfm(f,b) dsorg(po) " ,
"lrecl(80) blksize(27920) space(1,1) dir(1)  cylinders"       
                                                             
 say 'rc : ' rc                                               
                                                             
 exit

Cogito-Ergo-Sum showed you how to do it. I would add that USING is actually quite archaic and hasn't been needed since the early days of MVS. It still works, and has some occasional use but you rarely see it anymore.
