If you are configured for automatic EOF, then Allocation will write an EOF 
regardless of the program name; there's nothing special about IEFBR14 except 
for a performance tweak. There is no OPEN involved.

If a data set is allocated by IeFBr14 on an SMS disk, as I understand
it, it will have an EOF record as its first record.  Thus it can be
read (as a zero record file) by a subsequent program or job and
deleted thus from an SMF point of view a file can be read and deleted
without ever having been created.
