A continuation character is not needed in column 72. There is a trailing
comma after the programmer name field. This is sufficient for the JCL

You have a comma after the 'programmer name' (COMP SEARCH PARMS, in your
case) which is indicating a continuation. Column 72 has nothing to do with
indicating a continuation in your example. Using Col. 72 to indicate
continuation was the old format for JCL. Now, if you end the text in a JCL
