This looks correct and essentially the same as mine. I never ran into the truncated error. I'm guessing the problem must lie somewhere else. Since ACRONYM= is working, it's unlikely that a spurious blank is causing the problem. Maybe compare the assembler listings to see if there is a

I used to add my own commands to the ISPF command table. But somehow I got out of the habit; I went to a new site, didn't get around to it, got used to just putting "TSO" in front of commands, then forgot where to go to do it the other way. Now I can find the command table again, but why?

Even though you don't have a crypto processor, do you have CPACF on the box? Most machines I've seen do, because it's a no-charge feature. I don't know for sure, but I thought I heard that you can start ICSF without a crypto card and it will use CPACF for some of the heavier encryption
