I want to set a symbol to a value with lowercase letters and too long to go
on one line. (The ultimate destination of the symbol is substitution into a
SYSIN file, but that is not where the problem is.)

So I am doing

// EXPORT SYMLIST=*
// SET SYM1='blah,blah,blah'
// SET SYM2=',foo,foo,foo'
// SET LONGSYM=&SYM1.&SYM2
...
//PARMDD DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY
MYPARM(&LONGSYM)
/*

I am getting errors on the SET LONGSYM: IEFC620I UNIDENTIFIABLE CHARACTER b
ON THE SET STATEMENT, etc.

If I quote the &SYM1.&SYM2 then no substitution is performed and I end up
with LONGSYM being literally "&SYM1.&SYM2".

Any ideas?

Charles
