How about coding EXEC PGM=NULL (or whatever name you want) instead of IEFBR14?
One could even go as far as making it a parmlib option as to what program name is the "null" program. Maybe even add a console command to set and remove it. Additionally, if you want to make it harder (and prone to more errors), let this program be an indication that the initiator should set a return code or abend instead of getting a JCL error when there's some problem allocating or deleting a dataset as specified in the JCL.
