The general rule of system commands is: If you enter something that is documented as valid, it will work or we will fix the code or the documentation. If you enter something that is not documented as valid, no assumption about what you will get is valid.
There are quite a few keyword ordering requirements within the grammar of PROGxx. In the specific case, you could consider it that everything after the known end of a valid statement is treated as a comment. DISPLAY PROG,LNKLST,NAME=CURRENT,USERS is treated the same as DISPLAY PROG,LNKLST,NAME=CURRENT,BADSTUFF If you want to try something entertaining, if you can fit it all within 126 characters, try SETPROG <valid command 1> <valid command 2> Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
