It appears that there is no JCL option for an individual job that
can be enabled to cause the job to terminate when 
/*JOBPARM LINES=10
is used and the job has produced 10,001 lines of output.

I can only find references to JES2 EXIT 9 where the decision 
is made for lines exceeded.

I never needed this before, but then I never completely filled
my spool before with a runaway job.

The circumvention was to point SYSOUT file to a CYL(1) disk
file and force the B37 ABEND to get control of the job and
to read the log messages.
