we are making a mountain out of mole hill, so
I'm going to submit a PARMX requirement to IBM. So IBM will decide.

The fullword is a standard plist, so the high bit is set as a end of list
indicator.
As I see, there is little to no need for a program to need to know whether
the parm was generated by PARM or PARMX. If the length is over 100, it came
from PARMX. If it was less than 101, then either PARM or
a program (which is only intended to be executed from JCL) crashes
when it is given a 10,000 character PARM may not be broken; it can certainly
be improved.
