Just be aware that many (most?) installations disallow instream commands in

But OK, I'll bite: what is COMMAND?

"The COMMAND statement is the preferred way within the job control
language to specify commands, rather than using the JCL command
statement, which is described in Chapter 8, "JCL Command Statement" in
topic 8.0. That is because the COMMAND statement is in standard JCL
statement format, is parsed and processed using code common to the other
JCL statements, and if necessary may be continued across multiple card
images, that is, is not limited to 80 characters."
