If it has to be JCL, I think you're out of luck. But here's some options: 1. Consider PROCESS statements embedded in your source code; you can specify most compiler options in these statements, placed at the very start of the source program 2. Make sure your compiler is installed with the values you need most often: you only need to specify parms to override defaults; if the defaults are what you want, you don't need to specify parms 3. If the reason (or one reason) for running out of PARM space is because LE options are taking up room, many of them may be specified in JCL, if you are running a recent enough version of z/OS (I think 1.5, but it might have been 1.6 where LE parms could be specified by DD statement) Hope this helps.
