I want to use a started task to start my web browser, but the size of the
parameters exceeds the 100 char limit for parm=

Is there a nice way of passing the data?

Ive tried using symbols, and passing them in to an instream dataset, with
SYMBOLS=....
I then need dummy steps to actually use the parameters, otherwise you get
IEFC657I THE SYMBOL ACTION WAS NOT USED

One attempt is below.

//COLWEB   PROC ACTION='start',
//          DIR='/usr/lpp/ihsa_zos',
//          CONF='/u/mqweb3/conf/httpd.conf',
//          T='-t -DDUMP_CONFIG'
//*---------------------------------------------------------



*//  EXPORT SYMLIST=* //  SET A1='&ACTION' //  SET D1='&DIR' //  SET
T2='&T' *
//IHS      EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,REGION=0M
//STDIN    DD *,*SYMBOLS=EXECSYS *


*&D1/bin/apachectl -k &A1     -f &CONF -DNO_DETACH &T2  *
*blah blah blah*
/*
//STDOUT   DD  SYSOUT=H
//STDERR   DD  SYSOUT=H
//STDENV   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=USER.Z24C.PROCLIB(HTTPENV)


*//DUMMY    EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,REGION=0M, //  PARM='&ACTION &DIR &CONF' *

*//DUMMY2    EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,REGION=0M, //  PARM='&T' *
//  PEND
