what is IEF in IEFBR14?

I don't know what is it. -- Sergey Tyurin 06:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

The first three letters of IBM software and error messages, of the vintage concerning IEFBR14, referred to the component of the operating system involved. IEF was the main scheduler, while, for example, IEY was a FORTRAN compiler.

IEFBR14 was originally a no-op program that, on entry, did a Branch Register (BR) to the address in Register 14, which, by convention, had the return address from a subroutine call. The original one-instruction program had one bug: the subroutine call conventions required putting a completion code in Register 15, which should be zero for normal completion. IEFBR14 had to be modified to do a Subtract Register 15 from itself, zeroing it, before doing a BR14. Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 14:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tcb. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tcb~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
