You've answered a different question.
The reason for asking was not "that's an impossible scenario, no-one in their
right mind would ever want to do that", it was an attempt to elicit what the
requirement at hand is. The "same
Perhaps I could have been clearer: If, with EXEC PGM=IEBGENER, your SORT
product is used (because IEBGENER is aliased to ICEGENER), you will see ICE or
WER message prefixes (prefices?). If, instead, in that invocation of IEBGENER,
