The code was originally created back in 1987 and using IEFRDER allowed a lot of flexibility (at the time). The code now supports alternate DD's for sequential script command input, and even dynamically generating the DD (which is what most of the 400 current users use), but enough people still use IEFRDER that we maintain it. We try to add new features and still maintain 100% compatibility for the older features. We still have users that originally acquired the product back in the 80's, and I think they are probably still using script that were created back then as well. The product does hundreds of things that it never dreamed of back then, but by far the biggest use is still automating IPL and Shutdown, followed by dynamic operator commands, none of which really tax the features very much.
