I could find that behavior useful. I have at times expressed a wish
that undefined symbols be reported as JCL errors. So I need only
follow the symbol with a period and an error will (probably) result
if undefined. For example:
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=&NAME.,RECFM=VB
will result in a JCL error if NAME is unset, rather than naming a
temporary data set.
Are the statements numbered in the job log, or do you just need to guess?
