For an historical perspective, I tried it on os/390 2.9 and got the invalid label error.

We changed The null to a x'40' (space) and everything worked fine. The programmer that created the JCL Claims that the JCL with the embedded null worked okay under z/OS 1.4 during testing. I'm Not sure I believe that. Anyone with knowledge of the effect of nulls in JCL and any behaviorial Changes between z/OS 1.4 to z/OS 1.7.
