"IEFBR14" is the Dummy Utility, it is called bcos, it
depends on the DCB parameter of DD Statement. eg DCB=
(NEW,KEEP,DELETE). so here, the utility will create a new
dataset and keeps the dataset when successfully executed
and will delete when abnormally executed. So as the utility
depends on the DCB parameter only and does according to the
positional parameters in DCB so its called DUMMY UTILITY.

IEFBR14 is a Dummy utility and it is used for the sake of
EXEC PGM= .... statement in JCL[when used it wouldn't
perform any task]. e.g. While Allocating a dataset you don't
have to run any utility [this could be done by giving
disp=new inDD statement]. But for a PGM name must be given
in EXEC statement, it is used.
