I have found that adding SYSCPK to TK3UPD is one of the easiest ways to get the extra compilers, rather than adding them one by one.
I haven't looked for the compilers yet, but I think they mostly there. SYSCPK is on my list.
There are plenty of 3350 addresses in TK3UPD...
*snicker* Been there, got them.? KEW001, KEW002, WYLSRC, WYL001 ...

A problem with DADSLOAD is you can't allocate more files on packs which were DASDLOADed.

No IMON: not present, or not working? I don't recall have to fiddle with it (except possibly adding a PROC so I can start it from the console w/ a dedicated terminal, bypassing TSO, but even that may have already been done).
IMON doesn't work from a TSO command line.? But it DOES work from RPF.

I didn't worry about it because I knew it had been updated since TK3UPD was packaged and so I knew I needed to reinstall it.

IMON has multiple names is SYS2.CMDLIB, none of which are IMON.

What are you seeing that indicates this? I just tried it, had no trouble creating a dataset on a dasdload-ed 3350 that I had mounted.

Create a empty dasd loaded 3350, and try to allocate a file via batch.? I can't do an example now, but if you want one later I can.

Just tried it; it works. Here was the .ctl file

drew 3350
vtoc vtoc cyl 2

did a 'dasdload drew.ctl drew.3350'

did this at the Hercules console
attach 721 3350 scratch/drew.3350

did a
m 721,vol=(sl,drew),use=private

Responded with '721' when prompted with
15.59.43 STC 2166? IEF244I MOUNT 721 - UNABLE TO ALLOCATE 1 UNIT(S)??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
???????? AT LEAST 1 OFFLINE UNIT(S) NEEDED.??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

15.59.43 STC 2166 *13 IEF238D MOUNT - REPLY DEVICE NAME OR 'CANCEL'.?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

mount command completed, and I was able to place datasets on volume 'DREW' w/ both RFE and a batch job:

Looks valid.? I duplicate what you did and then try my slightly different variation.
