Neat!  I never became proficient with the ISPF variable pool.

Is there any restriction on the content of ISPF variables?  Special characters? 
 Length?
Can they be delimited strings, subject to the design deficiencies of delimited

I've sometimes resorted to adding a temporary data set to my SYSEXEC
concatenation and creating Execs/Macros dynamically there, often with a
TSO REPRO from an instream data set.
