It's more like LINK than like CALL. If you want a jobstep parameter, why not 
use address LINKMVS, which builds the HW length field automatically?

There's an ICSF Rexx example in SAMPLIB.  A trick it taught me is that
ADDRESS LINKPGM closely emulates HLASM CALL.  Halfword length
is optional; you must craft it yourself.  It both issues requests and
receives replies in the HLASM parameter list.
