It doesn't fail with the latest level, and I suspect this might be a symptom of the problem fixed by PH50923 in November 2022, for which the PTF on z/OS is UI83375. The problem was that if a macro parameter variable had been referenced before being used in a SETA, it may have already been parsed and marked as "not numeric" which unfortunately caused the new SETA support code to be bypassed, going straight to the existing error case.
