There is NO REASON to send a Long Parm to these IBM utilities so this
potential glitch can easily be handled by a new PARMLIB member with a
list of programs that are NOT to be passed an extended parm (IBM knows
who they are and the NOXPARM00 member can be supplied with the PTF or
FUNCTION that adds PARMX Support). For ISV (and Home Grown RYO)
utilities that accept mult-parm parmlibs, have the vendor/author supply
the needed members to be placed into PARMLIB.
--------------------------------<unsnip>----------------------------------
Do you intend to include in that list the potentially thousands of
application programs that might accept a parm string in any business
shop? And parse that list at IPL time? Or at program initiation time?
What about existing apps that nobody can even remember the details inside?
