We often do not document -why- you need to do things a
certain way, but
simply tell you what you need to do.
HZSAIEOF does processing that IEFBR14 does not
perform. You might or might
not notice the difference in all cases, but there is one,
and so you should
do as the documentation directs in order to avoid
potential problems.
It's been a long time since IBM went OCO. When they did,
didn't they promise better documentation to make up for the
inability to see what the programs are actually doing?
Meanwhile, to Walt: Radoslaw has been a useful contributor
to IBM-Main. He's done the RTFM step. He deserves better
than being talked down to. If you're not allowed to give
the answers he wants, you would sound less condescending to
come right out and say so. How can he better his
understanding if you're telling him he shouldn't even be
asking the questions? Your answers to other questions have
certainly been much more open and useful.
