OK. Code the required quotation marks:
say BPXWDYN( 'alloc dd(CEEOPTS) new recfm(F,B) reuse msg(WTP)' )
L.1 = 'ENVAR(TZ="EST5EDT",TESTIT="Wombat")'
address 'MVS' 'EXECIO 1 DISKW CEEOPTS (finis stem L.'
Dammit! The quotation marks become part of the value:
user@OS/390.25.00: echo $TESTIT
"Wombat"
user@OS/390.25.00: echo $TZ
MST7MDT
