  Program Restart should be changed to make sure a dummy IEFRDER
  file is allocated for DLIBATCH jobs using the RDORETRY option.
  Previously, PRF would make sure no log file was allocated for
  IEFRDER, however applications coded to fail after receiving a
  non-blank status code would not be expecting a status code of
  'NL' either and fail as well.
  

Problem conclusion

• Program Restart has been changed to make sure users selecting
  the RDORETRY option for DLIBATCH jobs would have a dummy file
  allocated for the IEFRDER DD statement.
