question about IEFBR14 and its APAR history
The rummor I am aware off is 2 APARS
1 to force a zero retrun code.

I am a mainframe / DBMS advocate so of course I think there is some sort of

2. Work flow and

Weird alphaWorks from IBM as a mainframe product?
Does anyone recall how IBM happens to own the trademark alphaWorks?
It was a LOTUS name that IBM got ownwership off when they bought Lotus.
