I just had occasion to look at the code that processes the job class override.
It moves just the first byte of the override field in the parameter list into a one byte class field in the relevent JES2 control block. (I don't have it in front of me right now, but probably a JCT field.) So just set your override in the first byte. I'm guessing IBM is positioning for eight byte job class names in the future.
