The provided RDR proc is now useful only as an example.  Note it uses
IEBEDIT, the poor utility that gets no respect.

When a started task name is IEFPROC, DD IEFRDER has some special properties
that allow unit, and (I think) volume to be specified as positional
operands, and any DD keywords on the start command are applied to it.
Note: my recollection, not guaranteed to be definitive.

Forty some-odd years ago, as an operator I submitted job streams with a RDR
proc that replaced SYSUT1 with DSN=PROD.JCL(&JOB).  Quite simple to "S
XRDR,JOB=jobyyy", and I'd think fairly obvious.  You can embellish that to
your taste, but I like simple & easy-to-remember-&-type commands.

I'll repeat that the // SCHEDULE statement is pretty handy.  And if you
activate the full JOB GROUP facility, you might not need any other job
control system.
