You don't tell us

 - COMPILER (release, version, and vendor)

- Operating system (e.g. VSE, MVS, z/OS, Windows, whatever)

- What YOUR compiler vendor's documentation (LRM) says for the "Select/Assign
clause).

  ***

However, for IBM mainframes the bottom-line is that UT-xxxx is a feature from
VERY old (long unsupported) compilers that is IGNORED (treated as a comment) in
all currently supported compilers.
