I don't know what the purpose of your JCL parser is, but treating them like instream data sounds reasonable to me. I'm not PSF Development, so I don't know for sure all the details of that interface, but I think that the subsystem does not have to parse the JCL-like statements themselves. I think the subsystem gets passed a control block with the values in it. I'd probably start with looking at the book z/OS V1R9.0 MVS Using the Subsystem Interface SA22-7642-06 for more details.
