As IEFBR14 is a frontend to SVC 99 (allocation),
It isn't. It does what the name suggests, with a zero return code, and
that's all it does.
In PCP, MFT and MVT, SVC 99 didn't even exist! Nor TSO.
I guess one could say, in a round about sort of way, that IEFBR14 was
the front end to invoking the DASD allocation, scratch and catalog SVCs?
But that wouldn't be the truth. Any program in JCL could/can allocate
data sets. While SVC 99 may be used now, it wasn't in previous
lifetimes....
