And why do you expect that COBOL programmer is even aware of the
100-byte JCL limitation?  The JCL Reference is a big manual


I believe Bill Klein provided the correct answer from the COBOL
perspective in:

    http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0505&L=ibm-main&D=1&O=D&P=152693

I yield to his expertise and dutiful research.  Apparently an LE
manual example presumes the 100-character limit for COBOL and PL/I.

What's really wierd is that LE has a callable service for
obtaining the JCL parm value and it limits the return
string to 80 characters!

Kind regards,
