BSLBR14 is an alternative to IEFBR14. It functions in much the same way as IEFBR14 with some notable exceptions

BSLBR14 will wait before ending
BSLBR14 can be made to issue any message
BSLBR14 can return any condition code or any ABEND code

Having the ability to request how BSLBR14 should terminate, coupled with its ability to issue any message (or sequence of messages) gives users an ideal tool to prepare jobstreams to test error handling/recovery.

You can make BSLBR14 terminate with any system or user ABEND or with any condition code.

It should be noted that, at the moment, BSLBR14 is not Re-Entrant and should not be used as a total replacement for IEFBR14. IEFBR14 may also used as a 'dummy' routine by many other system modules, therefore BSLBR14 should never be used as a complete replacement for IEFBR14.

	Source Code	This link will take you to a text file that contains the assembler source code for BSLBR14. This source code should be assembled specifying SYS1.MACLIB and SYS1.AMODGEN in the SYSLIB concatenation. If you have no idea what that means then you probably shouldn't be assembling it in the first place.:)

	PDF manual for BSLBR14	This link will take you to a file that contains the PDF manual for BSLBR14.

	z/OS load library	This link will take you to a XMIT file that contains the z/OS load library containing the BSLBR14 program in IBM TSO TRANSMIT format. This file should be transferred to the z/OS system using a file transfer program. The file must be transferred as a BINARY file. It should be transferred as a fixed blocked, 80 byte file. Once the file is on z/OS it will have to be received. To do this you use the TSO RECEIVE command. Please refer to the IBM RECEIVE command for details on the use of this TSO command.
