Touché. How about "any program capable of copying xSAM to xSAM plus INTRDR"? 
IEBGENER is a good shorthand.

My reading was that there was no MODIFY involved with $SUBMIT. It *is* a JES2 
command as I read things. It is I think the answer to what I was looking for 
with my OP "is there a JES2 command to submit a job?" I chose to go with the 
RDR proc because it looked a little simpler.

Footnote: Little did I know. What a PITA RDR turned out to be, at least on my 
particular LPAR. I had to override RECFM, LRECL, BLKSIZE, UNIT, VOL and DISP 
(as well as DSN of course). That made my $TA command too long for the MVS 
console. I had to shorten my DSN and member names a little to get it to fit.

Someone would need to code that Rexx or COBOL.  IBM has already
generously done that chore for IEBGENER.

Apparently: 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.e0za100/ch1jes2_24_disk.htm
the disk writer does nothing but wait until a MODIFY command tells
it to SUBMIT a job.  Is that better than SUBMITting immediately and
quitting?
