Whenever I hear vendor claims like "Since the product is LE compliant, it cannot write into a dataset that has been generated by the IEFBR14 utility", I insist that they provide specific references to documentation from IBM that describes that particular behavior. Usually they cannot, so I make them aware of the error of their ways.
