Where I read:
    When the first non-blank name in the parm data passed to IRXJCL
    is either a single x'00' character or a 2 to 8 character name consisting
    of x'00' characters, that name is treated as a null-name.

Isn't "either a single ... or a 2 to 8 ..." a needlessly complex way of
saying "1 to 8"?

BTW, the behavior far antedates its documentation and was known
and used by mavens who sussed it from control block descriptions.
