Alas, no. Example slightly amended. This is what IBM calls

3 // SET SYMBOL1=A
4 // SET SYMBOL2=B
5 // SET SYMBOL3=C
6 // SET SYM='Shortened'
//*.+....|....+....|....+....|....+....|....+....|....+....|....+....|..
7 //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,
//
PARM='&SYMBOL1.&SYMBOL1.&SYMBOL1.&SYMBOL1.&SYMBOL1.x&SYM
// BOL2.y&SYMBOL3.z'
