Re: 80 byte jcl record limit

[Bruce Black]

There is one limitation with coding a PARM on multiple lines (to get to 
the 100 char limit):   You must use a comma to cause continuatoin, and 
the comma is passed as part of the parm.

For example,
//    PARM=('ASDFQWER34234',
//         'XCVSDF')
will be passed as ASDFQWER34234,XCVSDF
So if your parm syntax doesn't include a handy comma somewhere, it can't 
exceed one line.  After subtracting "// PARM=", the max parm is 63 
characters, if I did my math right.  Less if you have to put the data in 
quotes.
