A suggestion then: Specify a SYMBOLS logging DD, as I did in my example. It *should* tell you what substitutions were actually made.
Paul Gilmartin had a thread about this a while back (not sure if here or TSO-REXX or where), from which my example was taken and subsequently modified. The problem that can happen is "I/O errors" when the LRECL is exceeded after symbol substitution (due, we think, to LRECL limitations, maybe in JES for DD * datasets? Don't remember ATM). In any case, the log may help.

I have two JOBs now where I am using this. One works, the other does not. The one that does not work does pass to IKJEFT1B "ISPSTART cmd(%NCMPL " and that's it. The rest of the parm string is NOT passed. In the ISPLOG file, I can see what ISPF started with, and there is nothing after %NCMPL. In the one that does work, the whole string is there, and it extends beyond 100 characters. I've gone to the JES INIT & TUNE to see if you can do strangeness with INITs for this. PDF search did not return anything for it (wouldn't be the first time I mangled a keyword or three). I've been using IEBEYEBALL -4 (because I wear bifocals now) and I just do not see it. I think it is time to reset the registers. No NO, not on the z/FRAME. The windoze laptop...
