The JCL is behaving exactly as the manual indicates it would. There can certainly be no account in the JCL manual for utilities or programs that do additional validation (such as IEBGENER). The JCL is certainly syntactically checked and can cause errors if coded improperly. In addition, it is used by OPEN processing to fill the DCB although it is NOT validated for conflicts since it doesn't result in any actual allocation of buffers nor channel programs being built. The buffer pools are defined with a length of 0, although five buffer pool entries (by default for QSAM) are assigned. While I'm sure there may be other variations of this, but net result is that the parameters are not "ignored".
