o Find out whether it's "the group in his shop" or the vendor.
o If the vendor and the restriction explicitly cites IEFBR14,
torment their tech support, repeatedly if necessary, with
questions such as:
If not IEFBR14, may I use a trivial invocation of some
other program, such as IKJEFT01 with only "LOGOFF"
in SYSTSIN, and "DD DISP=NEW" to create the data set?
