It contained six non-blank characters. The original value before I tinkered was 
seven bytes. Ah, and if I put a seventh in, it works. So the sample wasn't 
entirely broken, just over-coded - it works equally well with the extra quotes 
removed.

Well, my problem is solved and I feel a wee bit better about the 
sample...thanks all!

Thanks, Steve. I had searched for that book but somehow wound up in the 
Assembler Services Guide, which of course wasn't as helpful.

Removing the extra quotes seems to have fixed it:
         SAVE  (14,12),,'&SYSPARM &SYSDATE &SYSTIME'

Am I unreasonable to be vaguely horrified that the samples don't even work?
