Arcane rules for line continuation like this, I can live without.  Is this also 
true for continuing DD PATH statements?  I can never remember.  Every language 
has its own rules.  It would be great if JCL records could extend to 32K and 
handle both fixed and variable length records.  No more line continuation ever! 
 I just don't know if such an enhancement is feasible.
