IEHMOVE had/has some well-known foibles that could not be ignored
without very disagreeable consequences.  If you knew about them you
could avoid these consequences; and it was heavily used, e.g.,  in
SYSGENS, in spite of its deficiencies.

Moreover, it had some interesting design features.  It was the first
IBM utility that allocated and used a dataset without having a JCL DD
statement for it available.  Moreover, in those pre-OCO days one could
look at the code to see how it did this.  I should not today recommend
its use to the uninitiated, but it has always had a bad rap.
