I know absolutely nothing about LE, so this is pure conjecture.
If LE
always opens pre-existing datasets as INOUT, meaning that it reads
from
the dataset before it starts outputting to it, then it is possible
that
a dataset that was allocated with no EOF may always cause errors.
Of course, this has nothing to do with IEFBR14 per se, but with a
dataset which is allocated in JCL but is never OPENED for output.
The
PGM= could be anything.
But, in the broader view, <SARCASM>Why can't IBM's premier OS,
whose predecessors helped send men to the moon and back, do a
better job of keeping track of where files end?</SARCASM>
Gil,
They give you an option to do so if you fail to use the option so
then is option user error?
