If IDCAMS REPRO does any translation, it should be under the user's control.

Ridiculous! Not you, of course, but the doubling and quadrupling of quotes.
There needs to be a better way. CharlesSent from a mobile; please excuse the

It seems to work with 7 quotes in the beginning, etc.

If you want a value of "'abc¬*' PCRE2.TESTLIB(GRPIN)" then you need
PARM='''abc¬*'' PCRE2.TESTLIB(GRPIN)' in your expanded JCL. to get that you
need SET SYMBOL='''abc¬* PCRE2.TESTLIB(GRPIN)'''; I haven't tested this.

Could you please apply that to my original parameter as the program should see
it:
[Take the parameter you want to pass, double the apostrophes, put apostrophes
around it, double the apostrophes and put apostrophes around that]
Do you mean:
1.
'abc¬*' PCRE2.TESTLIB(GRPIN)
2.
''abc¬*'' PCRE2
Do you think IBM would conceivably embrace the idea of PARM= honoring "
(quotation marks) as delimiters?
PARM="'abc�*' PCRE2.TESTLIB(GRPIN)"
would be a lot clearer than
PARM='''abc�*' PCRE2.TESTLIB(GRPIN)''
I find products that allow the use of either " or ' to delimit strings to be a

Forget the enclosing quotes and the JCL quote-doubling rules. Show us the

You have a double substitution. Take the parameter you want to pass, double the
apostrophes, put apostrophes around it, double the apostrophes and put
apostrophes around that. The way you coded it, the first exapnsion there is a
blank outside of the apostrophes, making the rest of the string a c
