That just shows it's inconsistent. Sometimes RC<>0; sometimes Sx13.
I suspect (with no evidence whatever) the utility checks for a DDNAME
allocation (but why bother?) If it's absent, exit with return code;
if it's present, attempt the OPEN which may ABEND.
IIRC, our TSO LOGON proc allocates SYSIN and SYSPRINT to terminal.
IBM recommends this by example in:
