... and also in the history of MVS and OS/390. 

and Lizette Koehler said really really tongue in cheek this (and confusing a 
person who replied on her post): 

"And IEFBR14 is more that return on R14.  It does stuff.  Just look how big it 
is."

and I said earlier: 'IEFBR14 is just a lazy program setting a RC=00 and nothing 
else.'

Hmmm, I *always* ( ;-D ) wanted to sign IEFBR14 with a (program) digital 
certificate with RACF, but PDS datasets (at least the SYS1.LINKLIB) are not 
supported for this stunt. <grin>

Has a patent been taken out on IEFBR14 (or its queer position in MVS, OS390, 
z/OS)? If not, I want to register it, but I am too broke. ;-D
