Just what exactly is that "Note" from the description of the START command I
quoted earlier in the thread supposed to mean? Perhaps some examples would
help.
Now it has been acknowledged to be "working as coded" rather than "working
as designed", is it possible than the logic parsing the character string is
trying to treat the string following the "devicetype" as a "volumeserial"
which, of course, has a 6-character limit. This assumes that the equal sign
is regarded as a delimiter. There would also need to be some subsequent
processing which somehow "lost" the false "volumeserial" and interpreted,
for example, the DISP=SHR parameter as intended - although this isn't
actually confirmed by Johnny's example.

Getting
IEE308I START TERM LENGTH ERROR
when you issue
S STC00001,3390,JOBNAME=JOHNNY,SUB=JES2
is an error. We suggest you open a PMR.
