When you allocate a data set as you did here specifying DSORG(PS), using space unit as CYLINDER or TRACK and specifying the RECFM and LRECL, allocation will compute the appropriate system determined BLKSIZE and apply it to the data set.
I have two other observations.
There are other ways, of course, but this uses the TSO command line,When you allocate a data set using the ALLOCATE command, the data set will remain allocated to your session until you free it using the FREE DATASET(xxx) command or you logoff

- Why are you asking here? You can find out yourself by just executing a LISTD command. For example -
| Code: |
| alloc da(test1) sp(1) tra dsorg(ps) recfm(f b) lrecl(80) READY listd test1 XXXXXX.TEST1 --RECFM-LRECL-BLKSIZE-DSORG FB 80 27920 PS --VOLUMES-- VVVVVV READY |
