I don't think that David cares about the value of TYPERUN=SCAN to you. If he 
uses it to solve his problem, then it is of great value to him.

Someone with z/OS access can quickly verify. I believe it's just after JESJOBLG 
which shows everything including proc expansion and I believe variable 
substitution.

Someone with z/OS access can quickly verify. Create an inline proc that has a 
variable with 20 or so characters and a DD where the DSN=&VAR..JUNK starts in 
column 55.

This would not be my first choice but it's a solution that meets David's 
requirements of being processed by REXX and being free. If he understands the 
pattern, then he can program for it..
