Oh, heck! C still does that. Sort of, but you might be able to tell it to
issue a warning.

And if the Parameter File is a UNIX file, does it say "...PATH=.SPECIFIED..."?
HLASM used to do that, circa 2002, but it got better. (IIRC, z/OS UNIX is
not your favorite milieu.)
I'm often tempted to write a Macro (I did, once, in a galaxy far, far away) that
scans SYSTERM and launches an editor scrolled to the relevant line with the
token highlighted.
Alas:
o Too many editors with no consistent argument format.
o Too many SYSTERMs with no consistent message format.
I'd be surprised if neither CBTtape nor Mark Zelden has one.
