"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.
