You might wonder what could go wrong in such a simple program. I never saw it, but heard tell that the earliest version of IEFBR14 went PE because it contained only one instruction: BR 14. That left the return code totally unpredictable, so a PTF was released to SR 15,15. Maybe an urban legend, but one too precious to debunk.

But if it does not exist it first creats it, and then deletes it. So you need the SPACE parm. ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Ford <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Sent: Monday, May 4, 2015 9:10 AM Subject: Re: IEFBR14 question Peter, Thank you very much ...haven't seen the message before ...
