All of the traditional Name/Token calls do not have a macro other than CALL.

IEANTRTR however is a macro and does not require a save area or a parameter 
list area. 

It was introduced fairly recently (but is available on all supported z/OS 
releases) and I’m speculating for those instances when no storage is available 
for save areas or parameter lists. 

It’s a nice addition to anyone’s tools.
