It had one instruction at the time. After the APAR it had two. <grin> CP

Well with two instructions a single APAR would make the ratio 50%.  If it
only had one instruction at the time, it would have been 100%.  So I'm sure
the ratio is true, even if it is trivial.

It is rumored that IEFBR14 has the highest ratio of APARs to
bytes of code of any MVS program supplied by IBM.

I don't know how to substantiate that.  I'd be more confident
that IEFBR14 has the highest ratio of lines of Friday LISTSERV
discussion to lines of executable code.

Just doing my part,

Gil:
The only APAR that I can ever remember IEFBR14 was zeroing out the return
code in reg 15. I know I was one of those people who asked for tyhe APAR and
that was a *LONG TIME AGO*. I am talking late 70's or early 80's. I know at
one time there was "talk" about having an Eye catcher in the "module" but I
do not recall ever hearing where that ended up.Personally I think its a
waste of time as we are talking 2 instrctions. ed
