The recurring confusion about what IEFBR14 itself actually does
(clear GPR15 and return) and what people seem to think it does from
the odd post here and their (not yours) is one reason I call
IEFBR14 the "most misused program in the history of z/OS."
Well, I heard that opinion in the past. But it raises a question:
what is actual purpose of IEFBR14?
The only uses of IEFBR14 I have ever observed are:
a) "IEFBR14+DISP" combo - but this is "misues"
b) some exercices with CONDs in JCL learning process (marginal use of course).
What did I miss?

you can override to run a program in that step.
