I don't know why JCL imposes a harsher limit. Just doing JCL's thing, I guess. Likewise, I don't see why DYNALLOC imposes a harsher limit, since I see in IEFZB4D0:

     S99TULNG DS XL2 LENGH OF 1ST (OR ONLY) PARAMETER

which would easily accommodate a pathname lengh of 1023 characters.

Probably because 40+ years ago, when this was designed, nobody in their wildest dreams could envision a need for a PARM longer than 100 bytes. :-)
