Many long threads here on that one ... What's worse, "parm" means two different things.
There is a limit of 100 characters on the operand of PARM=. But I was referring to "parameters" in the more general sense of, as the manual says, "The parameter field consists of two types of parameters: positional parameters and keyword parameters. All positional parameters must precede all keyword parameters. Keyword parameters follow the positional parameters." Some of those "parms" such as PATH= can have operands with a length of 255 characters.
