I remember the APAR. I got awaken at 11PM because of the stupid
return code and had to come in to fix it. The temporary solution
was to code the SR 15,15 and br 14. The next day I called it in and
there already was PE'd and the me to list was a mile long.
I asked to be put on the list as well, I put the sev as 4 as I had
fixed it manually. I made sure everyone in the group was aware of the
issue in case they got any calls.

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.

If the dataset already exists then it doesn't try to create it and
you do not need the SPACE parm. But if it does not exist it first
creats it, and then deletes it. So you need the SPACE parm.

SPACE=(0,0) eliminates the message. I usually also use UNIT=SYSDA,
but YMMV.

Subject: IEFBR14 question
All,
I just came across something I haven't seen. I am building some
canned
JCL and I was testing a IEFBR14 step doing disp=
(mod,delete,delete) on
non-existent datasets wanting to see the return code passed back and
saw this....
IGD17045I Space not specified for allocation of data set.
This is non-SMS ...
I am confused...guys and gals.
Regards,
Scott
