A member in SYS1.PROCLIB is started via operator command.  When I insert
a JOB statement as the first record, the system executes the member as a
job (which allows me to use instream data, for example).

This works well for plain old console START commands, but when I
internally issue a START command for the same member, and pass a program
token in the MGCR parameter list, then MVS 1.8 starts the member as a
plain old started task -- and then jobfails it for the "misplaced JOB
statement".

I don't see this behavior documented in the JCL reference or the
Authorized Assembler Services Guide (not saying it isn't there, just
that I don't see it).  Is this WAD?
