Why so?

The sentence references commands, subcommands and statements but NOT
records.

As stated it is correct.  What it is saying is that you cannot have
multiple commands / subcommands on a given statement.

For example:

  SUB; END

...is forbidden in batch TMP.  (No field mark batch-equivalent to separate
the subcommands unlike in VTAM/TSO in EDIT command.)

As for the use of concatenation... you might try the test under JES3 in
addition to JES2 before you push too hard.  And you might try some
different tests, too.  (I was bit by the concatenation bug, whoa!, 10 years
ago (yikes!) in a JCL conversion project.  Bit of a pain to circumvent when
they pointed me to that very documentation.)
