More to the point, if the design specs were for a program to run as a step in a batch job, that's probably what the programmer wrote. And that has meant a parm of 100 bytes max. It doesn't matter what the programmer or what MVS could do with a different environment. It certainly does not denigrate a programmer to suggest he/she paid attention to the requested design.
