Yup.  That was one of my first mistakes:

    //STEP  EXEC  PGM=IEBGENER
    //SYSUT2  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&SYSUID..LINKLIB(DUMMY)
    //SYSUT1  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.LINKLIB(IEFBR14)
        ...

The second was discovering it didn't work and trying to undo it with:

    //STEP  EXEC  PGM=IEFBR14
    //SYSUT2  DD  DISP=(OLD,DELETE),DSN=&SYSUID..LINKLIB(DUMMY)
        ...

I don't care how well it's documented, nor how obvious the consequence
is to coloro che sanno; those intimately acquainted with the internals of
allocation.  It's still just.  plain.  *wrong*!
