  - Do not specify JCL symbols within other JCL symbols. The results
    can be unpredictable, especially if the imbedded JCL symbol is
    not previously defined.

Damn feckless IBM!  Don't call a construct "unpredictable".  Either
report it as a JCL error or specify the effect in the Ref.

But ISVs should avoid "unpredictable" constructs in customer-facing code.
