Jol has a number of way to get data into Symbolic Variables.
When operating under TSO, Jol can:
1. Use the READ instruction to ask for a simple line of input into a
Symbolic Variable.
2. Use the Full Screen Structured 3270 to read a fullscreen into a
number of Symbolic Variable3.
3. Use the Alloc File instruction, the Read File(x) into (y) instruction
to read the contents of any file.
4. Create a Card Image file any symbolic variable.

Sourceline() is a common approach to what I think you mean by instream
data. It's often used to keep Help data within the exec.
Indeed, I've used it that way. It saves many keystrokes compared to
individual QUEUE, EXECIO, or compound symbol assignments. It lacks
facility to substitute symbols.
CMS/TSO Pipelines (remember, it's embedded in Rexx) provides the
alternative BEGOUTPUT; the Ref. uses the term "implied output mode"
describing it.
Wouldn't it be nice to have something like "ADDRESS DD:SYSUT2"?
