We are on z/OS 1.7 - This morning we had a JCL error and determined that
the cause was
An x'00' (null) between a STEPNAME and its corresponding EXEC directive.
We changed 
The null to a x'40' (space) and everything worked fine.  The programmer
that created the JCL
Claims that the JCL with the embedded null worked okay under z/OS 1.4
during testing.  I'm
Not sure I believe that.  Anyone with knowledge of the effect of nulls
in JCL and any behaviorial
Changes between z/OS 1.4 to z/OS 1.7.
