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
