I'd be overjoyed if IBM would admit to the possibility of a parm string
up to 32,767 bytes, and design parm-driven software with that in mind.
And allow JCL to accept a parm of that length. Changes to code would be
minimal, since it already uses a halfword length. Changes to JCL
processing might be rather major, so I don't expect this to be done
overnight, as long as it's kep in mind.
Why should this be a problem in JCL processing? Do you expect there
will be jobs that depend upon the current limitations?
------------------<unsnip>---------------------------
No, I expect that there might be restrictions within the
Converter/Interpreter mechanisms that might need to be addressed.
