Thanks heaps.
Firstly, the inline 'no op' which is handy but needs care.
STDPARM:
SH (
set -o verbose ;
set -o errexit ;
set -x ;
for jarname in `ls &BCDHOME.batch/*.jar 2>/dev/null` ;
do
: 'any old comment' ;
if [ -z "$(echo $jarname | grep Doc\.jar)" ] ;
then
echo adding to ClassPath ;
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$jarname" ;
fi
done ;
echo CLASSPATH is $CLASSPATH ;
)
> &E.bcd-write.out 2>&E.bcd-write.err
STDERR is empty for this one. Works as expected. This next one fails,
probably reasonably as it's in the middle of a 'for'.

STDERR
FSUM7332 syntax error: got Word, expecting do
The JCL concatenation worked, and I'm going to use it as it's foolproof. As
long as the comment and the resumption of SYSIN are moved together, they can go
pretty much anywhere. If you need the symbols, remember to keep the SYMBOLS
keyword on the resumed SYSIN.
// EXPORT SYMLIST=*
// SET BCDHOME='/usr/lpp/bcp/' home directory for BCP
// SET E='/u/bhpprq/' error messages here

//BPXBATCH EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH
//OUT DD SYSOUT=*
//STDERR DD SYSOUT=*
//STDOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//STDPARM DD *,SYMBOLS=(EXECSYS,OUT)
