I totally disagree. Longer JCL cards would solve a lot of problems in 
specifying PARMS that span records.

I have always hated the 80-byte card limit which had really gone the way of the 
dodo, ever since MVS had an interactive component.

(As someone else said, teaching somebody how to span a PARM across more than 
one record is very difficult at o'dark-thirty when production is waiting to 
complete in time.
