(Motivated by a recent thread in ASSEMBLER-LIST)

I f I have:
//  SET DLM=ROMEO
     ...
//SYSIN  DD  *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY,DLM=ROMEO
TROILUS and CRESSIDA
&DLM. and JULIET
ANTONY and CLEOPATRA
ROMEO
...
Does the process recognize the delimiter after substitution
or only before?

Does the JCL Ref. make this clear, perhaps in "Determining
equivalent JCL"?

(I'll submit a Feedback on 
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.2.0?topic=dp-syntax-6>,
a "Syntax" specification which doesn't specify syntax.)

1. IMHO It takes less time to check it than to write the message to IBM-MAIN :-). And it is not something was tested by anyone here (I'm pretty sure). 2. It takes much less time to use another delimiter and circumvent possible trap.
