You may have put the EXPORT statement at the wrong point in the JCL.  Try 
putting it right after the JOB statement.

<SNIPPAGE>

Sorry, it behaved the same whether it was just after the JOB card or just 
before the EXEC PGM=.... I've tried moving the EXPORT. And I tried various 
SYMBOLS= values.

However, it is now working. And I'm not sure what I did that fixed the problem. 
 I guess getting impatient and frustrated at the same time, I should stick to 
only making one change at a time....

But I can tell you that the little comment about concatenating the lines 
together (in the JCL REF) -- using simple concat -- They ain't joking.

So, if you need to your parm line (string), think about how you do the split. 
Because the next line read is concatenated to the prior line ignoring the right 
side spaces (at least that's what I have experienced).  If you need a space 
between strings, you may need to do some interesting things to effect that.

Ok, I now return you to your regularly scheduled fun and games....

Steve Thompson
