On the issue of the parm length.. why not just create something new. Sometimes retrofitting is just not practical. I vote PARM='PARMX',PARMX='WAAAAAY LONGER THAN 100 CHARACTERS'. A bit goofy.. but probably a lot easier to implement. Of course I am probably oversimplifying. Kind of like how they handled 3 digit to 4 digit UCB.. didn't really retrofit.. just made something new.
