The batch TMP, IPCS, and I/O service routines know that SYSTSIN is a file,
and the TMP retrieves "logical lines" from that source. You can use either
plus (+) or minus (-) continuation characters as described in TSO books to
continue commands and subcommands from the source. The following is a job
that I just ran successfully to confirm my recollection that this is the
case:
//RLWG JOB '796634,?,S=I','RL WRIGHT',MSGLEVEL=(2,1),
// CLASS=2,NOTIFY=RLW,MSGCLASS=H
//IKJEFT01 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=4096K,DYNAMNBR=50
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
IPCS NOPARM DEFER
