You are always encouraged to submit requirements. Logging might well be 
rejected. It is a chicken-and-egg thing. At the time that PARMDD is (and 
has to be) processed (under the initiator task), various i/o operations 
are not supported (apparently including those needed to write to a the 
intended log). Changing that could be very costly, thus requiring 
significant justification.

If you are not allowed to post the actual symbol values, can you post the 
length of each symbol values (and if there is some funky character that 
you can get in there, what such characters might be, just in case parsing 
is the issue)?
