I've got several DD statements in a proc that have only a single parameter, PATH='long/path/name'
Because the path is long the statement will not fit on a single card image (but the PATH parameter by itself will). So I coded //MYDDNAME DD // PATH='long/path/name' No good. It turns out the JCL Reference means what it says when it says you can break a JCL statement *after* any parameter (but not, apparently, before any parameter!). Putting an X in column 72 does not help. Putting a solo comma somewhere after DD does not help. The JCL reference does not provide any guidance that I could find. Google does not seem to know how to do this. I'm sure I could wrestle with the rules for continuing quoted parameters, but that makes an obscure, difficult to maintain mess IMHO. Do any of you more experienced JCL jockeys know a simple trick for getting around this problem? Is there some DD parameter that I should code as a "no-op" on the first line? Thanks all.
