Try again; DAIR uses SVC 99. You generate OS/360 with TSO, you get SVC
99. The interface to it is different from what you're used to.

One could say, in a round about sort of way, that you owe me
$100,000,000.00, but I still won't be able to deposit it in the bank.
IEFBR14 doesn't front end anything, much less SVC 99.

C 'Any' 'No'

Or at least no batch program in OS/360, OS/VS1 or SVS.
