The limit on PARM is not the size of the JCL statement, and going
beyond 80 characters would do nothing for PARM except eliminating the
need for continuation lines. If you need it increased, that should be
a separate requirement, and probably a much more expensive one than
increasing the JCL limit beyond 80. Assuming that there is still an 80
character limit; I haven't looked lately.
