I do not see where you said anything different. The original post said his JCL started failing. I showed three versions that all still work under 1.7, including one without the inclusion of IEFRDER. Adding or removing IEFRDER in my examples did not make it work better or worse. So if you are the one who had the problem, show us how it failed. Otherwise the only way I could make it fail is using lower case. I dud not use TSO, /S is how you issue a command to start a PROC from SDSF. From a console you omit the /. I did not use tso nor ISPF to submit a JOB, I issued a command to test whether IEFRDER was required, It was not. The OP had some other problem and did not share that with us. I could add IEFRDER and then UPPERCASE everything and when it worked declare IEFRDER fixed the problem, when in fact using uppercase fixed it. So we still do not know what the real problem was. I just know I do not need to add IEFRDER as my procs still work.
