... which suffers the unfortunate restriction that you can't employ
symbol substitution in STDPARM.  (It will be better in 2.1.)

It's regrettable that designers chose to make STDPARM override
the EXEC PARM= string rather than appending to it; otherwise
one could start with 99 characters of shell variable definitions
using JCL symbol substitution.
