IEFBR14 already does as near to nothing as possible (SR R15,R15 BR

could remove the SR but that wouln't save much).

IEFBR14 used to not have the SR instruction, but then the contents
of R15 were causing problems because that was/is the RC.
So, IEFBR14 became the only programme to double in size because of a
PTS/APAR.
By the way, the programme doesn't do allocation.
It's just a placeholder for the initiator (in simple terms).
Yes, I realize IEFBR14 doesn't actually do
allocation/creation/deletion/catalog/uncatalog.
The INTIATOR/TERMINATOR process the dispostion on the DD statements and
calls
other system routines to accomplish this. But many people use it to for
this purpose.
